Join Katie Henderson, Occupational Therapist from Bloom OT, for a one-hour virtual workshop designed specifically for parents, caregivers, and educators of students with Autism in grades K-8. Katie will share practical strategies to help keep essential skills sharp over the summer, ensuring students stay engaged and continue to grow in a supportive and enjoyable way.
