Puberty and Lifestyles Workshop

two women with children

Puberty and Lifestyles of Adolescents and Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other Special Needs Workshop

All children go through puberty regardless of their social maturity. The brain does not tell the body to stop growing, even if the developmental level is younger than their chronological age. Therefore, our goal is to provide you with information that will help you make informed decisions when dealing with hard, personal questions. The information will be detailed in order to empower you and is not intended to embarrass you or change your family values. A portion of the workshop will be dedicated as an open forum. This time will be used to address questions and hear the advice others.

Our speakers:
Lisa Cheyette, PhD is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and RDI® Program Certified Consultant who specializes in autism. She works with children, adolescents, and adults.

Mariana D’Amico is an Occupational Therapist with 25+ years experience working with clients across all age spans. She has spent many of those years working with adolescents and young adults with Developmental Disabilities.
