Do you or a loved one with autism struggle to attend healthcare appointments? Join the nonprofit Birchtree’s autism experts for a free webinar to get practical tips on how to successfully undergo blood draws, dental work, doctor visits, and other essential healthcare.
This webinar is designed for youth and adults with autism as well as for parents, guardians and caregivers of individuals with autism of all ages.
And if you’d like to get some personalized support in implementing the strategies you learn from the webinar, please consider applying to participate in Birchtree’s Healthcare Accessibility Pilot Program this summer!
In the pilot program, four selected applicants will receive consultation by a Birchtree Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) on a sliding scale fee during July and August. Consultation will be focused on implementing the strategies taught during the webinar in order to help individuals with autism and their caregivers to effectively participate in healthcare appointments.
If you attend Birchtree’s June 23rd webinar (or register to attend and then view the recording after), you’ll be eligible to apply to participate in Birchtree’s pilot program. Given that funding is limited for BCBA travel, priority for the pilot program will be granted to applicants seeking consultation within 45 miles of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
This program is made possible thanks to a generous Autism Community Impact Grant from the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism.
