The Autism and Developmental Disorders Lab at SFU, together with the Laurel Foundation, is co-hosting 3 community events 
entitled, "ASD & Family Quality of Life Discussion Series." The 3 themes will be: Families and School, Families and Transitions, 
and Families and Mental Health. The aim of these events is to facilitate discussion among a range of stakeholders, including 
individuals and their families, researchers, and professionals about important Quality of Life issues. These events are FREE and
open to the public, so please join us and bring your questions, ideas, and comments to what is sure to be a lively discussion! 
During the events, we will also be giving families an opportunity to participate in our research.
