DFWChild - For Dallas / Fort Worth Parents
Parenting can be tricky. And funny, frustrating, rewarding, hard, and worth it. It connects us all, as moms and dads, who are all doing our best to raise respectable, kind tiny humans in this ever-changing world. The DFWChild podcast tells our stories (and our kids' stories) through a refreshing narrative of local moms, dads, and top industry experts as we navigate parenting life in Dallas, Fort Worth and North Texas.

Episode 6
Autism diagnoses are more common than ever, but actually receiving the diagnosis for your child can be a long and difficult process. We got some insight from Monica Piper, a Collin County mom whose son was diagnosed at age 2. Monica is also a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) and the founder of Stepping Stones, a service that provides in-home therapy to individuals with special needs. She spoke to us about the first signs she observed in her son, the road to his diagnosis and early therapies. This podcast episode is a supplement to our September DFWChild issue.
