We are excited to announce our Westview EDU lineup for the 2023-2024 academic school year. Westview EDU is our education series for parents and caregivers of children with autism. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the end-of-year survey that helped us fill our presentation slots with topics and presenters our community most wanted to learn about. Each presenter will be in-person in Largent Hall on Thursdays at 9:15 AM. Presentations will last for one hour. ZOOM option will be offered. Visit our website for registration details.
