Complex care doesn’t come with simple answers. APIC works alongside partners to provide clinical insight, guidance, and support when challenges arise; helping teams navigate high-level needs with clarity and confidence. Our role is to strengthen care where it’s needed most.

At the start of a new year, we are throwing it back to ...ALL of them.

These conversations capture what matters most in autism care;listening, collaboration, and thoughtful problem-solving. While the videos may be a throwback, the topics remain relevant today as teams continue to support individuals with complex needs.

Some of the most impactful work in autism care happens behind the scenes; reviewing complex cases, supporting care teams, and helping partners navigate challenging situations.

At APIC, our role is to bring experience, perspective, and clarity to moments where care systems feel stretched. By supporting the professionals doing this work every day, we help strengthen outcomes for children and families across the spectrum.

We entered 2026 the same way we closed out last year; on the road, supporting partners and strengthening systems of care near and far.

As the year gets underway, APIC remains focused on sharing expertise, filling care gaps, and working alongside organizations to support families and care teams wherever the need exists. We’re looking forward to another year of collaboration, connection, and meaningful impact.

The holiday season brings joy, but it also brings added stress, shifting routines, and increased demands on caregivers supporting children with complex needs.

At APIC, we work alongside families, partners, and care teams to ensure caregivers have the tools, communication, and support they need to navigate this time of year with confidence and compassion.

Supporting caregivers strengthens the entire system of care. 💙

Tis the season...

Listen as Dr. Mike and Janell share how APIC started and how it has evolved.

Holidays bring excitement and togetherness, but for many children on the autism spectrum, the changes in routine, new environments, and sensory overload can be overwhelming.

This excellent guide outlines practical ways to help, including using visual calendars, prepping the child in advance, offering quiet breaks, and bringing comfort items.

At APIC, we believe simple planning + thoughtful supports can make all the difference. If you’re part of a care team or family preparing for the season, consider:

Establishing a simple visual schedule for the holidays 📅
Packing a “sensory kit” for outings — comfort item, headphones, familiar toy 📦
Planning breaks and downtime so the day doesn’t get overwhelming 🌿

Even small adjustments can help create a calmer, more enjoyable holiday experience for children on the spectrum.

Gratitude goes a long way; and this week, we want to recognize the people who make our mission possible.

To the families who trust us,
to the partners who collaborate with us,
and to the nurses and care teams who show up every day for children with complex needs...thank you.

Your commitment strengthens the system of care across New York State (and beyond!), and APIC is honored to support the work you do. 💙

Clear communication is essential when supporting children on the autism spectrum; especially in fast-paced clinical environments.

APIC trains nursing and medical teams in practical strategies that improve understanding, reduce stress, and support smoother interactions, even during challenging moments.

Small adjustments can create big shifts in care.
