We are excited to plan for the return of the ATS Virtual Family Support Groups. We know that with the start of the 2020-2021 school year, there have been a lot of unknowns, and to be honest quite a bit of stress amongst our families (truly, all of us)! For that reason, we'd like to bring back our groups by offering something fun. We will be hosting a VIRTUAL GAME NIGHT for parents and caregivers on Monday, September 21st at 7PM EST!
We proudly welcome ATS's Anne Fults, BCBA and Chase Hinnant, RBT as our game night co-hosts! We're excited to bring you what we hope will be a fun and relaxing hour away from all that is on your mind. For a Google Meet invitation and game night instructions, please send your RSVP to chughes@achievingtrueself.com.
