My name is Ciera Yates, and I am a second-year master’s student in speech-language pathology at the University of Arizona. During the past year, I have had the privilege to work on communication skills with many children with autism spectrum disorders and their families. I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to serve this population and am very excited to learn how to collaborate with individuals in other fields to best help these children. I am grateful to Arizona LEND for granting me training in this skillset as I transition into the workforce and aim to optimize my impact as a professional in the healthcare field.
