FND PEN is hosting a virtual workshop with Central Florida Autism Community on Thursday March 17th, 2022 at 8.30pm on Zoom (Register in advance) and live in the CFAC Facebook group .

Workshop

No matter which hurdles your child faces, apps and other media included in this presentation can give him or her an added boost. We don't expect an app to be a complete solution, of course. Working with students who face challenges requires lots of time, attention, and patience on the part of a parent, teacher, or other adult caregivers. Our goal is to offer you a host of fun apps you can add to your toolkit as you work with your child.
