April 16: Autism Society of Greater Tucson Monthly Support Meeting

This Month's Guest Speaker:
Mandy Carlsen from Mealtime Connections.

Mandy Carlsen is a pediatric occupational therapist who works primarily with children with specific feeding concerns, including children on the autism spectrum. She is a partner at Mealtime Connections a local pediatric occupational and speech therapy clinic whose focus is supporting children, and their families, with feeding challenges.

She will be discussing the characteristics unique to Autism that effect mealtimes, the goal of a family mealtime and how we can redefining "try it" using strategies and ideas to help children become more comfortable interacting with familiar and new foods.

 

 

The Support Group Meeting is held from 6-7pm. During this time you can meet with the parent Mentors, Q&A, newly diagnosed parents are welcome, and we address education questions. Following that, from 7-8 PM, we present our main speaker.
