Backstage With The Simple Church

EP 71. Autism Awareness Month

Broadcast on:
28 Apr 2021

This week we are joined by Dr. Michell Yetman and Speech-Language Pathologist Rebecca Durr from the Children’s Center at LSU Health to talk about their work with families of kids who are diagnosed with Autism. They share great information on what they do to help families at LSUHC, why early diagnosis is critical, and some interesting facts you may not have known about Autism (including how the US Government is targeting Autistic individuals for specialized jobs!). If your family or someone you know is trying to decide whether or not to screen a child for autism, please listen to this episode and share. You can reach out to the Children’s Center and get more information at their website here: https://www.lsuhs.edu/our-schools/school-of-allied-health-professions/rehabilitation-clinic/childrens-center
