Dear All,
I want to thank all of you that came to hear our last speaker talk about his experience/perspective as an adult with Asperger Syndrome. It was well-attended with about 50 parents from throughout Bakersfield. Frankly, it is a rarity that we have an opportunity to have a view into such a "window". In addition, as your parent group grows, opportunities for networking and support blossoms as we ready our students for as independent, successful life as possible.
I have attached a wonderful Spring Break opportunity for students with social communication needs. Please see the attached flyer. THIS IS NOT A KHSD SPONSORED EVENT.
