Wondering how you can help your families that have recently gotten an autism diagnosis? 

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, I sat down with Hat Richardson to talk about how she got diagnosed with autism and ADHD as an adult and how it has changed the way she approaches supporting her families and students with autism. She’s here to share some of her top tips for SLPs so that we can better support our autistic students and their families.
