Children and Divorce Dr. Kelly Montiel and Dr. LaRonta Upson will be conducting a series of workshops on the impact of divorce on children.

among children with autism, however, is their lack of interest and/or ability to engage with others...." Check out the

rates, cognitive an biological models of autism as well as areas of controversy.
