Receiving (or even suspecting) a diagnosis of autism/pdd is only the beginning of your journey. Now, what do you do? There are resources in the Greater Toronto Area and York Region that can help you, but wait lists are long and prices for private services can be prohibitive. We are told that we have to help our kids now, while they are very young, but no one tells us how to accomplish this.

To help cut through the frustration, BBB Autism Support Network is presenting informational workshops to help parents learn to help their young children at home.

These workshops offer practical advice and information given by someone who truly understands what you are going through: A parent who's been there ~ and lived to tell the tale!  BBB Autism Support Network is dedicated to providing positive support and information to parents, families, professionals and individuals with autism/pdd. We are an online community of individuals who understand and want to help. Learn more about us here: http://www.bbbautism.com/about_bbb.htm
