Hello, my name is Emma Hubert and for my Senior Project, I created a website for parents who have children with autism. I ask that if you are an educator or a parent who has a child with autism you could fill out my survey. My website, AmPower, is in the description and I would love it if you could leave suggestions. If you do not fit into those categories, and you would still like to leave suggestions, please do so! Thank you so much for helping me to improve my project! I appreciate it more than you know!
