Supporting the Spectrum Podcast

Welcome to Supporting the Spectrum, the podcast that shines a light on the latest news, research, and resources for individuals with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, along with their families.

We are your trusted source for insightful discussions, expert interviews, and stories that inspire hope and empowerment. Join us as we explore a world of knowledge, compassion, and understanding, dedicated to enhancing the lives of those on the autism spectrum and beyond. Tune in to be part of a community that seeks to build a brighter and more inclusive future for all.

Supporting the Spectrum is hosted by the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment’s Training Core at the University of Missouri. This podcast is brought to you by Training Experts in Autism for Missouri (TEAM) project sponsored by the Missouri Department of Mental Health.

While our topics are tailored to families and professionals providing direct support to individuals with autism, we believe that inclusion begins with open dialogue and shared experiences. We encourage all listeners to tune in and be a part of this transformative journey.

Through our thought-provoking discussions and expert insights, we aim to foster greater understanding and empathy for individuals with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders. By engaging in these conversations, we hope to ignite new ideas and perspectives, inspiring the entire community to come together and create more inclusive experiences for everyone.
