“Transitions in Autism”

Transitioning to elementary school, from there to midde school, from middle school to high school and transitions to adult life after school can be very difficult for individuals with autism. Tami McGrath will talk about how to manage these transitions and make them successful.

Tami has an adult son who has autism in addition to other developmental disabilities. She is the LINKS Coordinator for PC2. Tami is a great resource for services and supports available to families in Pierce County.

The Arc of Pierce County now partners with AST by holding their monthly “Lego Club” on the 4th Monday of the month at 6:30 at TACID (during the AST meeting) so that parents attending the meeting can also bring their children to a place where they can build with Legos, play with cars, create art in coloring books or on drawing paper and other fun and games.
