Carol Tatom | Community Health Worker & Operations Director | Life Skills Autism Academy
As a parent of a child with autism, our guest Carol Tatom was motivated to become a human services professional and advocate for other families sharing the same experiences and challenges as her family.
In Part 2, we continue expanding our understanding of how autism impacts families, how the diagnosis process unfolds, the barriers to accessible insurance coverage, and how crucial goal setting is in day-to-day life of autistic children and their families.
Let’s talk about it.
