About this podcast
Here at Beyond the Spectrum we are a private, non-profit school who assist children with Autism, Down Syndrome, and related disabilities.
We have always served students but would like to be a stronger resource for the entire family.
In this podcast we will explain the various therapeutic interventions we provide for our individuals, discuss important processes for caregivers as their children grow older, and have conversations with parents, caregivers, and individuals about their journeys.
