Parents are faced with many challenges when raising a child. Having a child on the Spectrum can create enormous stress on a family-stress that is magnified when effective services are not accessible.  Parent Education and Training are critical components of Life’s WORC’s intervention and home-based services, which are individually designed to meet the needs of each member of the family.
