As part of Ohio's efforts to combat infant mortality, some local groups are receiving investments to try to reduce infant mortality. We'll look at one of the programs receiving funding, a doula program called Birthing Beautiful Communities is helping families in the region. Then, the 14th annual Milestones Autism Conference is in town featuring panels with adults with autism spectrum disorder and parents sharing their everyday challenges. We'll have a panel from the ASD community on to discuss how greater understanding of the disorder is impacting inclusion in the Northeast Ohio region.
