To address this gap, the Meeting FACES workshop was designed to: (a) provide an opportunity for parents, educators, and service providers to build partnerships, (b) provide parents with opportunities to learn about available autism services in their communities, and (c) assess the needs of underrepresented families of children with autism in NC. Findings indicate that minority families of children with autism in central NC require more supports to access and navigate services. Additionally, participants were very satisfied with Meeting FACES and were interested in participating in future FACES programming.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF AUTISM AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS}, author={Pearson, Jamie N. and Traficante, Amanda L. and Denny, Lauren M. and Malone, Kayla and Codd, Evadine}, year={2020}, month={Jan}, pages={1–11} }
