1. Review the parent comments noted throughout the various videos in terms of the stages of grief, identify examples of one or more stage as evidenced by parent’s comments. What stories have you heard from the parents of your students? What are their experiences with grief?

2. Conduct a community resources search for resources available to families of individuals with ASD in your community (e.g., respite care, assessment and diagnosis, healthcare and dental, private therapy providers, advocates, summer camps, etc.). Share what you find with a summary and resource links.
