Why It’s Important to Find Your “Tribe”
Susan Scott
AUDIO
"I'm a wife and mom, former ER nurse to CEO of our household. I have 3 beautiful children. You might be wondering why I'm here....welp me too? But really it's because 4 years ago we received life changing news "your sweet, precious, angel, baby boy has autism spectrum disorder". Okay they didn't quite say it in those words, but that's what I heard. I don't really have any specific qualifications other than being a mom with a fierce love for her child/children."
Autism and Inclusion in the Classroom
Susan Scott
AUDIO
Many autism families struggle with making the choice on inclusion in the school classroom. Is inclusion the right choice for your autistic child? Some children will really thrive in an inclusive setting, but inclusion may not always be the best choice. Inclusion may also work well for a period of time, but then become more difficult as the child grows older. Perhaps a child needing a specialized autism support classroom when they’re young, may mature to the point where inclusion is a great option.

Heather Sutcliffe is a working mom of two sons, who both have an autism diagnosis. For more than 12 years, she has advocated fearlessly to ensure her sons receive robust and consistent programming to make progress and achieve. A strong believer in coming at this diagnosis from all angles, she never takes her foot off the gas and continually looks at ways to fine tune her sons’ interventions. To honor the progress ABA therapy has made possible for her family, she recently launched a non-profit organization to support ABA for autism. Her first campaign running through 4/2/19 is to raise $5,000 that will go toward covering tuition for Simmons University students studying ABA. In addition, to reduce the ramp up time for parents and families dealing with a recent diagnosis, Heather is in the process of creating a website and blog to share what she has learned on this journey so far. Heather is passionate about giving her sons the best possible chance to overcome the challenges they face while inspiring and empowering other families to do the same.
