Telluride local heads Autism and Behavioral Consultation Team
[click "Play" to hear Annie Clark's conversation with Susan] It's a tangle of eye-popping acronyms – UnBOCS, ABCT, CO-MASP – that boils down to one simple thing: greater support for Telluride regional families with children affected by autism and related syndromes that fall under the banner of Autism Disorder Spectrum (ASD). The work of the ABCT goes stereo in April because April is National Autism Month.
Telluride local/Occupational Therapist/Yoga instructor Annie Clark has been a member of the Board of Uncompaghre Coop Services (UNBOCS), Autism and Behavioral Consultation Team (ABCT) since it was founded in 2007. By 2010, the ABC Team expanded to its current configuration: two occupational therapists, a speech therapist, two school psychologists, and an early childhood specialist. The Team covers the Telluride region, working in five districts: Telluride, Ouray, Ridgway, Norwood, and the West End.
