Future Horizons

When your child has just been diagnosed with autism, questions and concerns immediately flood your mind. What do I need to know first? What do I need to do first? What program is right for my child?

“This book is the bible for families with a young child diagnosed with autism.”
– Special Needs Judge

“The explanation of how autism affects the brain should be a ‘must read’ for everyone.”
– Parent Tester with a child on the spectrum

This book discusses the components of a “perfect” program for young children with autism, including a variety of proven techniques, and gives parents tools to assess whether or not they “fit” their child and their family. It also includes a how-to guide for setting up an effective Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP) and transitioning a child with autism into a public school program.
