Episode description

Being the parent of a teenage boy with autism who is struggling, can cause challenges for the parent to know how to support their son. Autistic teens have many strengths but can face emotional, social, and developmental challenges. Residential treatment centers, like Discovery Ranch, are a great resource for these teens who are struggling. Each boy receives specialized care based on his individual needs and is taught skills that will help him while he is at the residential treatment center, and in the future.
