Specialty Chat

Welcome to virtualSpeaker Specialty Chat, your online resource for the autism community.

Periodically, experts make them available for specialty chats, where everybody can go into a virtual chatRoom. Family members and other professionals can instant message these experts, and experts type responses.

TalkAutism archives transcripts of these ‘chat’ discussions and makes them avialable on VirtualSpeaker for future reference.

Please send e-mail to admin@talkautism.org to be informed about future Chats.
