What We Love
Coping with a child’s autism diagnosis is never easy, but for employees of this Atlanta-based media giant, help is only a phone call away. After years of staff requests for support, the company just introduced its Autism Advocate program, which connects parents with a licensed specialist for treatment advice and aid finding resources. Meanwhile, an expanded family medical benefit provides up to $30,000 annually for coverage of autism or autism spectrum disorder. New or potential parents seeking developmental information can contact registered nurses to discuss matters—even before they conceive. A new parenting group at headquarters gives moms a place to trade tips.
