Handbook on autism for parents : a guide to information and services in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties

This project examines the experiences of children with autism and their families including diagnosis and treatment. Parents, especially those in small rural communities, may find it difficult to access and assess services that are available to them to provide support to their children with autism and to the family as a whole. The content of chapter four is a handbook designed to assist parents and guardians in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties in seeking appropriate services for their children with autism. Content includes information on grief, specialized services, schools, and behavioral techniques that will assist parents in developing a team to support their children with autism and their families.
