Monthly Spectrum Meeting
Spectrum's next monthly support group meeting will be on Thursday, May 2, 6:30-8:00 pm, First Baptist Church of Duluth, 2908 Duluth Hwy, Duluth, and will offer several topics :
1) Autism and Exercise, ReClif
2) "How to talk about body boundaries, teach consent to all kids, and think about sex ed for your child"
(All kids on the spectrum are at a higher risk of being targeted for physical mistreatment or manipulated in relationships. It can be confusing for kids of all ages on the spectrum to know how to handle body boundaries, how to be aware of others and how understand their own body experiences or sexual feelings). presented by Marne Day, MA LAPC,Well Being, LLC
Breakouts will also be offered for parents of teens/adults with HFA autism, Dads, Spanish speaking parents (Adelante Autismo) and parents of preschoolers. Social skills groups and childcare available for all ages. Check out the full schedule and Thursday meeting topics here.
