Ep. 2 Social challenges of Autism

One of the biggest challenges of autism is the social side. So in this episode, we focus on solutions. Meet Vicky Ryan, a mom whose own daughter, Charlotte, is on the spectrum. When Charlotte was struggling with social opportunities, Vicky founded Girls Club - an amazing, accessible club especially for girls with neurological or developmental differences.  We also hear from Carol Gray, an award-winning educator and consultant who is best known for developing Social Stories, an evidence-based approach used worldwide to teach social skills to people on the spectrum.  And finally -- a guest appearance by globally renowned speech-language pathologist Michelle Garcia Winner -- recognized for her work helping students overcome their social and communication challenges.
