Speaker/Jennifer Allen

Knowledge is power. Understanding Autism Level One (formally Asperger Syndrome) will unlock the potential for those diagnosed, and for those wanting to understand and empower their child, students, patients or employees. ASD Level One Training offers both engaging on-site workshops and online training in an easy to navigate video/powerpoint presentation format with handouts. In her uplifting presentation(s), she shares her family experience, practical strategies, and credible interviews that will aid you in navigating Autism, no matter their age or stage of development.

Medical Students at UT Health Science Center in San Antonio absorb the essential perspective of family life after the diagnosis.
