Arborlawn is honored to present Dr. Naomi Ekas of TCU for the seminar "Understanding Autism" on Thursday, April 25 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the Worship Center.
Dr. Ekas will present information about autism and explore ways faith communities can care appropriately for members and church guests. The talk will be followed by a Q & A session.
Ekas spoke during TCU Minister’s Week and energized the people in her workshop with a precise and clear review of what autism is, the latest research, and some practical and simple suggestions for how faith communities can demonstrate relevant respect, support, and care for autistic people.
Autism is not really rare. Some resources estimate that one in every 50 children is on the autism spectrum. Among the adult population are many adults who may have never considered receiving autism assessments and the subsequent possibility of intervention opportunities.
