The Autism Society of America is proud to continue our Coronavirus Information Series with the second video created in partnership with MyHana, an autism support network designed to provide autism resources and support for parents and caregivers of autistic loved ones. 

On April 15, Autism Society CEO Christopher Banks sat down to a conversation with Shelby Haines, Superintendent of Marshall County School District in West Virginia, to discuss the realities of transitioning to education at home, as well as best practices for handling the changes and stresses occurring as a result of COVID-19.
