Monthly Learning Series:
August
As our children with autism become adults, we must learn to navigate new issues related to teens and adults, such as job training, housing, and government aid, if necessary. In this month, TACA plans to provide families with information about adolescent issues and how to assist your child in their transition to adulthood.
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.
