“Our team wants these families and their children with autism to know that there are resources and supports here for them,” said Kara Hume, Ph.D., associate professor in the UNC School of Education and faculty fellow at FPG, who assembled the team and led development of the toolkit. “These individuals and their caregivers are especially vulnerable to the current stressors, and this guide provides a toolkit of strategies that can provide some relief in these uncertain times.”
