Monthly Learning Series:
March
Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are powerful tools—but too often they fall short of driving real change in the classroom. This March MLS brings together expert insight on both IEP development and challenging behaviors to help families move from paperwork to progress.
The Autism Community in Action (TACA) provides general information regarding medical research, treatment options, therapies and nutrition to the autism community. The information comes from a variety of sources and is not independently verified by TACA. Nothing presented in print or at meetings should be construed as medical or legal advice. Always consult your child's doctor regarding his or her individual needs.
