Back to EpisodesHow grandparents play a crucial role in supporting kids with autism with Theresa Lyons
Description
Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that it is a defined by a variety of conditions that, themselves, may exist on continuums. This can make it difficult…and anxiety provoking…for parents of kids with autism spectrum disorder and their care teams to find the optimal combination of interventions. Thankfully, there are sources like, Theresa Lyons’s Navigating AWEtism websites, that critically review the latest research, unpack jargon, and debunk the myths and fad treatments. I respect Navigating AWEtism and Theresa’s approach, so when she told me that she believes that grandparents play an important and underutilized role in treating kids, I wanted to learn more.
