    Adult Autism and Communication

    In this episode, we welcome Nathan Wood, M.S., CCC-SLP, to the podcast! Nathan is a speech-language pathologist whose passion for individuals with ASD shines through in his work and our discussion with him. The moms discuss communication with Nathan, focusing on communication that assists individuals with minimal or no verbal communication. Nathan educates us on current speech pathologist practices and the why behind them. He also explains Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices and how they can assist in communication. Nathan is a breath of fresh air for all families that have experienced the disability cliff after high school completion. Join us for this informative episode that offers hope and encouragement to never give up on communication even in adulthood.

    The Southwest Missouri Autism Project (SWMAP)

    Welcome to our second episode of season 2! In this episode, the moms discuss The Southwest Missouri Autism Project (SWMAP).  SWMAP is a project funded by the Missouri Department of Mental Health and serves 23 counties in Missouri. We discuss each appointed provider, the funding they receive, and the resources they offer. We all understand how hard it can be for families to find the resources they need after receiving a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. We hope this discussion will connect families to resources that may not have known were available. Listen in and connect with us!    If you like our podcast, please share, review, and subscribe! You can find more information about SWMAP at: https://dmh.mo.gov/dev-disabilities/autism/southwest/support ⁠Learn more about us and the podcast on our website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We have a Facebook page!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Instagram account⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Like our Facebook page to get the latest updates for the podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ You can also find Heather Woodring write about her son Zachary at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Everyday Adventures with Zachary on Facebook⁠
