"Quality of life for adolescents with autism is a real source of concern and anxiety for many families who care for someone with autism," says Jamie Pagliaro, Rethink Autism Executive Vice President and former Executive Director of the New York Center for Autism Charter School. "That's why we're proud to bring Dr. Gerhardt's practical, research-based advice directly to the families who need it most."
Committed to the highest clinical standards, Rethink Autism's Scientific Advisory Board consists of leaders in the field of autism research and treatment. The webinars on November 10th & 11th will feature autism expert Dr. Peter Gerhardt, member of the Scientific Advisory Board and President and Chair of the Scientific Council for the Organization for Autism Research.
