Supporting Individuals with Profound Autism and Their Families (Atlanta Autism Consortium)

Описание: The Atlanta Autism Consortium's "Supporting Individuals with Profound Autism and Their Families" program on March 25, 2025.

Use of the term profound autism is about clarity, not competition. People with profound autism are those that require lifetime, 24/7 care. They consistently experience unique, devastating, and often unseen challenges that require solutions, not only for them but for their caregivers. Most home and community-based services exclude people with profound autism because of their intense support needs. This program discussed research, resources and more to support individuals with profound autism and their families.
