Join us online to hear from Speech Therapist Christina Morrissey who has successfully transitioned a wide range of autistic students, including pre-verbal students, to the virtual setting for both Speech-Language and Occupational Therapy. Ms. Morrissey has practical advice to offer parents on how to make virtual therapy sessions as successful as possible.  If you have been told it can’t be done – listen up!  You will learn how to address the challenges and understand the limitations of virtual therapy sessions for ASD students at home. 

To the extent possible please submit your questions ahead of time with your registration. (Accepting questions through 4/21). Providing questions beforehand will allow Ms. Morrissey to shape her presentation to address more parents' concerns in the first half of the webinar and leave more time to answer questions from the "chat" in the second half.
