Interview with Kris Mitchell (Joshua Center for Neurological Disorders) about autism.
Kris is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and has worked with children since 1992 in various capacities in both church and clinical settings. He has overseen programming and events that provided children the care and support that enabled parents to help their children grow and flourish. He understands and cares for children, making it easy for kids to relate to him.
Kris desires to work with both parents and kids so the whole family can grow together towards healthier ways of relating. Because his goal is to help children find success in all areas of life, including at school, he frequently meets with teachers and principals to advocate on behalf of his clients.
