Join us on May 15, 2025 at 7:00pm (EST) for our webinar: Occupational Therapy Integrating Horses for Autistic Youth : A Case Example of Multi-phase Intervention Development and Testing in EAS Dr. Caiti Peters and her team have been working with an autism advisory board composed of autistic self-advocates or caregivers or autistic children to ensure our research practices are neurodiverse-affirming.
