On October 4, 2013, I facilitated a session about providing therapy to adults with Asperger's Syndrome to a group of professional therapists at the Florida Counseling Association Annual Convention. This session focused on strengths, areas of concern, advocacy, and building resiliency. I was a guest speaker at UCF's Family I Class, on October 28, 2013. I addressed the implications of providing In-Home Therapy based on my experience and research. It was an honor to speak to future counselors at my alma mater...GO KNIGHTS!

What is Asperger's Syndrome? A person with Asperger's Syndrome are often intelligent indivduals that may know a lot of information on specific topics of interest. They are detail-oriented and have a unique perspective about things. They may have some social difficulties, such as having a hard time picking up on body language, giving eye contact, and/or having sensitivity to sound, light, or touch. Most importantly, each person is unique, so Asperger's Syndrome will look different from person to person. We are excited to offer young adults (18-30 years old) two 10-week session Asperger's Groups starting October 12, 2013! This is an opportunity to share, connect, learn, and grow. Check out the flyer below and share with others. Please visit our Groups page under the Services & Fees tab to learn more details. ![]()
