About Autism Hangout Programming:

 
What is a WEBINAR?
Think of it as a live, scheduled TV show on the web where hosts interview autism experts LIVE. But we also ask YOUR questions. As you're watching, you can email us your thoughts. We'll be reading this collective feedback and ask the prominent questions you pose.
 
 
FEATURE PROGRAMS...
are a series of ongoing, continually updated, autism topics (i.e. "Key Learnings," "Beyond the Headlines", "Moving Out" or Featured Guests). They are prepared by Autism Hangout Staff Reporters. We’ll keep on top of trends in the news as well as Autism Hangout’s Discussion Forums so you can quickly find the latest, current thinking on the topics and challenges that we face daily.
 
 
SPECIAL REPORTS...
are interesting stories in their own right. They may cover news, events, items or issues. Sometimes they're simply reflections. They are prepared by Autism Hangout Staff Reporters as well as the newsmakers themselves (i.e. guest columnists, researchers, dignitaries/notables and interested Autism Hangout members).
 
 
All FEATURE PROGRAMS, SPECIAL REPORTS and WEBINARS are archived here at Autism Hangout for repeat viewing. And each will be UPDATED on a regular basis.
