This is an unthinkable tragedy. Parenting a child with ASD can be incredibly stressful, particularly at this time when neither support nor services are sufficiently accessible. If you or anyone you know is finding parenting stress to be unmanageable, please reach out for help. Drs. Fenning and Baker are currently reaching out to our local colleagues in hopes of developing a collaborative network to address this issue in our area. In the meantime, please contact us at [email protected] https://www.miamiherald.com//l/crime/article242952751.html

Drs. Baker and Fenning’s federally-funded research on emotion regulation, autism, and family process was one of only five university research projects highlighted in the recent report by California State University, Fullerton! Read about it here: https://www.fenningbaker.com/news

The public health crisis can be even more challenging for individuals with IDD and ASD and those who support them. In this new special episode of the APA podcast ACCESS Division 33, Drs. Baker and Fenning gathered advice from 12 experts in order to help families deal with issues related to parenting, stress, family, homeschooling, interventions, and maintaining social connection. Much of the information will be helpful for families of children with neurotypical development as well! Listen through Apple Podcasts or the Division 33 website at: http://www.division33.org/podcast
