Event Learning Objectives
- Participants will be able to describe the four different attachment styles.
- Participants will be able to recognize how treatment decisions affect attachment.
Event Summary
Autistic children need all the same things as neurotypical children do. Unfortunately, with a focus on bridging gaps and trying to help them “catch up”, many forget that underneath it all is a child that needs unencumbered connection and trust with the adults in their lives. We will re-examine treatment practices and their effects on connection, trust and attachment.
