AMESBURY — The first in a series of four parenting workshops at the Amesbury Public Library will be held on Sept. 22 at 6:30 p.m.
Nancy Wiseman, author and founder of the national organization First Signs, will discuss the first signs of autism, what to be concerned about and what not to be, what to do if you have a diagnosis, and resources to use. Feel free to bring any questions you might have. A book signing will follow at 7:30 p.m. Registration is required.
In October, the library presents an educator workshop entitled: What is Autism? Learn about the signs, tips for teaching and available resources on Oct. 12 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Amesbury Cultural Center.
