Autism and Grief

Course overview

A 90-minute continuing education program designed to empower social workers, nurses, paraprofessionals, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and other caring professionals in their service to adults with autism experiencing grief and loss. Expert panelists will examine the disenfranchisement that can occur for grieving people with autism and discuss ways to enfranchise them during their grief journey. The program will also address grief after non-death losses, anticipatory mourning, and how adults with autism may best be supported.
