We’re excited to share another upcoming training featuring Sound Space Collective provider Dr. Sara Woods!

Dr. Woods will be presenting for PARtalks on “I Think I’m AuDHD”: Navigating Self-Identification, Online Communities, and Effective Assessment Across the Lifespan.

As more children, teens, and adults encounter information about autism and ADHD through social media and online neurodivergent communities, clinicians are increasingly navigating questions around self-identification and formal diagnosis.

This training will explore these conversations alongside thoughtful, effective assessment across the lifespan.

📅 Friday, October 9
⏰ 2–3 p.m. ET
🎓 Eligible for 1 CE

We love seeing members of our Collective sharing their knowledge and expertise with the broader professional community!

We’re excited to share an upcoming live webinar with **Dr. Sara Woods**!

**Autism, ADHD, or Both (AuDHD)? Improving Diagnostic Accuracy in Complex Cases Across the Lifespan**

Differentiating autism and ADHD and recognizing when both are present can be especially challenging when presentations are complex or information from different sources does not neatly align.

In this 3-hour live webinar, Dr. Woods will explore diagnostic decision-making in complex cases and how a strengths-based understanding of clients can inform meaningful recommendations.

📅 **October 30, 2026**
⏰ **12–3 PM CT**

Help Support TCI Summer Camp!

As we prepare for another exciting summer of inclusive programming, we are asking for community support in providing snacks for our campers.

We are currently collecting individual packages of:
• Fruit Snacks
• Goldfish Crackers
• Applesauce Pouches

If you are making a trip to the grocery store this week, please consider picking up an extra box to donate. Snack donations can be sent with your participant to Summer Camp or dropped off at our Summer Camp Meet & Greet this weekend.

Your generosity helps ensure that all participants have access to snacks throughout the summer and supports our mission of providing meaningful opportunities for local youth with and without disabilities.

Is your teen college-capable but not college-ready?

Collective Member Spotlight: Kimberly Marks, Executive Function Coach

One of the most important questions families ask is:

"My teen is smart enough for college, but are they ready for college?"

Executive function skills such as planning, time management, task initiation, organization, and self-advocacy often have a bigger impact on college success than academic ability alone.

Kimberly works with students and families to build these skills and support successful transitions into adulthood.

If you'd like to learn more about executive function coaching, connect with Kimberly directly.
