The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on “Building Autism-Responsive Child Welfare Courts” Friday, April 10, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. via Zoom.
In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, this Family-Centered Friday session spotlights Pennsylvania's Autism and the Courts initiative which brings together judicial and system leaders to strengthen dependency courts' response to children and families impacted by autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As the first state in the nation to take this focused, court-led approach, Pennsylvania has developed practical education, tools, and resources to help judges and court staff promote meaningful access to justice.
Attendees will learn about the work happening across Pennsylvania and take away concrete resources and strategies that support autism-responsive child welfare court practice and ongoing system improvement.
Speaking at the webinar will be:
• Christy R. Stanek, deputy director, Office of Children and Families in the Courts, Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts
• Judge Ryan M. Tira, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania
• Moderator Angela Sager, senior court management consultant, NCSC
