Monthly Learning Series:
December
This December, we’re focusing on the power of connection—in our health, our families, and our social lives. Parents will explore how nurturing their own well-being creates the foundation for stronger, more present relationships with their children and loved ones.
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.
