Girls and women on the autism spectrum are often forgotten or missed completely. What is needed is a collaborative and integrated approach that enables females to reach their potential. Grab some knowledge from this video as we talk to Dr Judith Hebron, author of Education and Girls on the Autism Spectrum, as we attempt to address the gender gap in the understanding of autism. By establishing close collaborations between girls on the spectrum, their parents, teachers and specialists, the field can move forward in terms of providing understanding and an appropriate educational framework for success.

In this REACH session we hear from Dr. Geraldine Dawson, world renowned expert in early intervention of children with autism.

Dr. Bettina Hohnen and Dr. Jane Gilmour, authors of "The Incredible Teenage Brain - Everything You Need to Know to Unlock Your Teen's Potential", join us for this segment of REACH. Learn strategies to decipher why your teen does what they do and how you can them get through this particularly difficult developmental period. This REACH session will help you guide your child to achieve their potential , build strong relationships and improve communication as they develop, learn and grow.
