Gain awareness about autism and learn practical action steps that prove useful to all parents.

She will give details about the Spectacular Bond program, a unique home-based, parent-led behavioral intervention that can help the autistic child realize the gifts that exceed the challenges.
The book is coauthored by Marion Blank, developmental psychologist and creator of the Spectacular Bond program, and Suzanne Goh, pediatric neurologist. The book is available from Amazon in paperback and Kindle. Books will be on sale at the luncheon for autographs.
