We’re in the family room today with host Janeen Herskovitz, talking about the areas where autism parents get stuck. In her private practice, where Janeen provides therapy and autism parent coaching, parents often have the most difficulties in these areas.
In this episode you will discover:
- The most common areas where parents of neuro-diverse children have the most difficulty.
- Why every moment does not need to be a teachable one.
