Do you have challenges helping your child brush their teeth? A new randomized clinical trial led by Rachel Fenning from The Center for Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Fenning & Baker Psychology, Kelly Bermingham and Eric Butter from Nationwide Children's Hospital shows that with lots of support and flexible procedures, parents can help keep their children's mouths clean. It's not easy and requires a team, but it's possible for families--including those who don't have a lot of resources.

This is an unthinkable tragedy. Parenting a child with ASD can be incredibly stressful, particularly at this time when neither support nor services are sufficiently accessible. If you or anyone you know is finding parenting stress to be unmanageable, please reach out for help. Drs. Fenning and Baker are currently reaching out to our local colleagues in hopes of developing a collaborative network to address this issue in our area. In the meantime, please contact us at mail@fenningbaker.com
