#1386: "Taking Care Of Caregivers"

We recently aired a couple of programs on Autism; one was about young people and the other about adults. I was also looking for people who could talk to me about seniors with autism. Well, I’m still looking, but in the meantime I had a conversation with someone who has a job I find fascinating. She runs support groups for caregivers. Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk about caregivers…and how they get by from day to day.

We’ll also hear how a partnership between Fulbright Canada and a state university is strengthening US-Canadian relations…and we’ll spend an academic minute learning how SNAP benefits are keeping people out of the emergency room.
