Our new inner west side campus is here to serve, and we welcome everyone to take part in raising the bar for autism care and inclusivity in South Texas. How does ACN promote autism awareness and acceptance? ACN's programs, services, and events all work towards raising awareness and promoting acceptance of autism within the community. We encourage aunts, uncles, grandparents, teachers, and first responders, everyone to join our herd and create a circle of protection around the autistic individuals that make our world so special. How can I stay informed about ACN's events and programs? You can stay informed about ACN's events and programs by attending Coffee and Connections sessions, signing up for the blog, subscribing to our emails, following us on social media, or checking out our events page. What is the difference between Pre-K and ECSE? ECSE stands for Early Childhood Special Education. It is a program for children 3-6 years old that have received an educational evaluation and qualify for special education services to help transition into the school setting. Pre-K is typically provided to children 3-4 years old. Program admission is based on a variety of factors. If you are interested in your child attending either of these programs, you should speak to your local school district. Does my child have to be toilet-trained to go to school? No. When a child with developmental differences qualifies through educational testing for a classroom called Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), they do not need to be toilet-trained to attend. In fact, goals related to your child’s education will be made specifically for them based on this educational testing, and often, toilet-training is one of those goals. This means that the school staff will partner with you to help get your child toilet trained as part of their individual education plan (IEP). Please note that the ECSE classroom is different than a Pre-K 3 or Pre-K 4 classroom because it falls under the special education umbrella, and children must qualify for the program through individualized educational evaluation. My child has a school diagnosis, do they need a medical diagnosis as well? Your child will benefit from having both a school diagnosis, which is called educational eligibility, and a confirmed medical diagnosis of autism. Educational eligibility will assure that your child is given the correct variety and intensity of educationally-focused therapies and supports, while a medical diagnosis helps your child gain further access to clinical supports that might be recommended. It is important to note that children do not have to wait for a medical diagnosis of autism to gain access to therapy, as even a determination of developmental or speech-language delay might open the doors for your child to begin intervention as early as possible. How do I know if my child has been medically diagnosed? At Autism Community Network, you will receive direct feedback from the doctor and other members of the diagnostic team at the end of your visit. During this conversation, your child’s unique profile will be discussed at length, along with recommendations for support, and you will have ample opportunity to ask any questions you may have. When you receive the full report, this diagnosis will be stated in the document, and you will have the opportunity to schedule a follow-up session with our LCSW to review results and any further questions you may have. How are ACN's evaluations conducted? ACN offers strengths-based autism screenings and diagnostic evaluations tailored to each family's needs, available in both telehealth and in-person formats. Does ACN provide speech therapy services? ACN offers specialized, evidence-based social-communication therapies. What educational programs does ACN offer? ACN offers training, educational programs, and learning opportunities, such as Coffee and Connections sessions, corporate trainings, and professional conferences. What is the goal of ACN's autism screenings? ACN's autism screenings aim to identify developmental differences and provide immediate feedback and recommendations for families. How does ACN's diagnostic evaluation process work? ACN offers various diagnostic tracks and collaborates with a team of specialists to provide comprehensive evaluations tailored to each child. Usually, it starts with a screening request that is sent over from your child's doctor. My child got a diagnosis of autism from a different agency, but I didn't like the testing; can you re-test him/her? Unfortunately, at this time, we do not offer re-evaluations once a child receives an autism diagnosis. Do you provide ABA therapy? Autism Community Network provides rigorously tested, developmental-relational, parent-mediated therapies, proven to support enhancements in child social-communicative functioning that generalizes to varied environments and interactive partners and sustains over time. ACN does not offer ABA therapy and respects each family and individual’s right to explore alternative, science-backed interventions that align with their preferences and values. Does ACN provide OT/ST/PT? Autism Community Network does not provide traditional OT or ST services; however, our specialized services are completed by occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists trained to fidelity in their various autism-specific approaches that can therefore be billed as OT and ST. We do not provide PT at this time. My child is diagnosed. Do you offer parent training classes? Yes! We offer group classes and individual therapies to support parent education. Please see our offerings in the Services section of this website. My child is diagnosed. Do you offer respite care? While Autism Community Network does not provide respite care, we are officing with an organization that does! Please see this website about Special Reach for details. https://www.specialreach.com/ My child is diagnosed with a different provider. Can we receive services within your clinic? Absolutely! As a matter of fact, we often hear from families diagnosed elsewhere that they wish they would have known about all our offerings sooner. We would love for your family to be a part of our herd! What is Autism? Autism is a difference in development which may impact communication, the sensory system, relationships, and social interactions. Autism is lifelong and it is of critical importance to address as early as possible due to the malleability of the brain during infancy and early childhood. What are some common signs of autism? Common signs of autism may include challenges in social interaction, communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and sensitivity to sensory stimuli. Is there a cure for autism? There is no known cure for autism, but early intervention and various therapies can help individuals with autism develop skills and improve their overall quality of life. Can individuals with autism live independent lives? Many individuals with autism can lead independent lives with appropriate support, therapy, and interventions tailored to their needs. Are boys diagnosed more than girls? This is a compelling question. While data suggests more boys are diagnosed than girls, girls often present quite differently which requires a very seasoned eye to identify markers typically present in the female phenotype. If you are concerned about your daughter, please reach out to info@acn-sa.com Is autism a lifelong condition? Yes, autism is typically a lifelong condition, but early intervention and appropriate support can greatly improve an individual's quality of life. How common is autism? Autism affects approximately 1 in 44 children in the United States, making it a relatively common developmental disorder. Are there different levels of autism severity? Yes, autism severity differs based on the level of support the individual requires. The technical name for autism is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) because its signs and symptoms vary greatly along a spectrum. My child is sensitive to noises. Does that mean they have autism? No, although most autistic people people experience sensory processing differences, there are also many people with sensory processing differences who are not autistic. My child is showing characteristics of autism. Where do I begin? Come see us. We can schedule your family for a screener where we can help discern your child’s profile and recommend further testing should the clinician deem it necessary.

A Pathway for Early Identification and Neuroaffirmative Support within Autism and Neurodiverse Development: Background Evidence and Implementation Practice Time Keynote Address - 8:15 AM Presenter/Facilitator Professor Jonathan Green Back to Course List < Back About the Course In this keynote address, Professor Green will cover the theory, ethics and practice of an integrated early intervention pathway for autism and neurodiversity. This will include a discussion of the neurodiversity movement and ethics of healthcare, concepts and evidence for the iBASIS and PACT models of early intervention, and how these can be combined into an integrated and evidenced based early care pathway for health services. Objectives Participants will list the features and effects of parent-mediated social communication interventions like iBASIS and PACT, and explain what mechanistic studies reveal about autistic development. Participants will identify the core concepts of a transactional approach to neurodiversity and autism development and discuss the role of health services in neurodiverse development. Participants will identify the health system characteristics best suited to an autism care pathway using examples of practical implementation in the UK and internationally in South Asia and Australia to propose specific changes or enhancements to existing health systems. Professor Jonathan Green Jonathan Green is Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at University of Manchester and Hon Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. He studied medicine at Cambridge, Paediatrics in London and Psychiatry in Oxford, before establishing clinical and research groups in Manchester, UK. He has undertaken developmental science in both autism and early relationship development and the development and testing of early parent-mediated interventions for autistic development for both pre-school diagnosed children (PACT) and in the pre-diagnostic stage (iBASIS). He has built on this evidence to advocate an early developmental pathway approach to autistic care that is now being applied in the UK and internationally. The not-for-profit, IMPACT which he co-directs, has trained PACT in 30 countries and now also iBASIS. Since 2018, he has undertaken increasing participatory work with the autistic community, including discussion on neurodiversity and the ethics of intervention (see Green 2023), a novel participatory project on autistic phenomenology (Murray et al 2023, Green and Shaughnessy 2023) and true co-design of a new anxiety intervention for young autistic children (Cullingham et al 2024). Jonathan sat on the most recent UK NICE development group for autism care. He is a Senior Investigator in the UK National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), Fellow of the UK Academy of Medical Sciences, and UK Global Senior Leader in autism for the International Society of Autism Research (INSAR).

Expertise through Experience: Amplifying Autistic Voices Panel Time Afternoon Address - 12:45 PM Presenter/Facilitator Shay-Lyn Porter, MA, LPC Back to Course List < Back About the Course The current shift in autism research, diagnostics, and support is leaning towards a strengths-based, neuro-affirmative approach. However, it's crucial for neurotypical professionals and caregivers to seek guidance from autistic individuals themselves, who are the true experts in this field. To address this, a panel discussion will feature the firsthand experiences of 5 autistic adults, moderated by an autistic therapist. The panel will delve into both the positive and challenging aspects of living with autism, from childhood to the present. The discussion aims to shed light on the unique challenges faced due to developmental differences as well as the personal strengths autism has brought to their lives. The panelists will share insights on helpful and necessary supports, providing valuable perspectives for those involved in the care and education of autistic children. The overarching goal of this panel is to encourage efforts towards improving the quality of life for autistic individuals and amplifying the voices of the neurodiverse community. Objectives Participants will describe relevant ethical issues related to providing neurodiversity-affirming autism supports in homes, schools, therapy clinics and workplaces. Shay-Lyn Porter, MA, LPC Shay-Lyn Porter specializes in working with adolescents and adults with trauma histories, neurodivergence, and addictions. She enjoys helping clients work through a wide variety of challenges and sees clients individually, as couples and families, and in group settings. She is gender-affirming, LGTBQIA2S+ allied, and sex-/kink-positive. A huge nerd, Shay-Lyn loves integrating clients' interests into therapy. She views therapy as a place where clients can feel safe being themselves and can learn to love themselves while fully embodying all that makes them unique. Shay-Lyn is certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy, and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, an ASD Clinical Specialist, and an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider. Shay-Lyn works primarily from a therapeutic outlook that integrates trauma-informed, ND-affirming, cognitive interventions and somatic trauma work.
