I met Cara Daily for the first time nearly six years ago when she was invited to a “get acquainted” lunch I was attending with another practice. At the time, she was a young child psychologist with research interests who had recently left the Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism to launch her own treatment center where she could incorporate biblical principles into evidence-based treatment for kids on the autism spectrum. I’ve had the honor of serving on the Board of her non-profit organization, Inner Health Ministries Child Center, and she in turn has been a valuable member of our Key Ministry Board. I’m very pleased to announce Cara will be joining us as a faculty member for Inclusion Fusion, speaking on the topic Autism Spectrum Disorders: Practical Tips for the Church.

Cara’s presentation will provide an overview of autism spectrum disorders, including diagnosis and treatment. Practical interventions for church staff and volunteers serving children and youth with autism will be discussed.

Cara is a licensed Pediatric Psychologist and owner of Daily Behavioral Health.  Her Ph.D. was earned at University of South Carolina in School Psychology. Dr. Daily is a member in several field-related organizations including the American Psychological Association, the Ohio Psychological Association, and the Christian Association of Psychological Studies. Her specialty is in the consultation, assessment, and treatment of autism spectrum disorders, chronic medical conditions, and other special needs. She is married to her husband, Gordon, and has a son, Quentin.

Cara, along with more than twenty leaders in children’s ministry and disability ministry are coming together on November 3rd-5th to put on a FREE Special Needs Ministry Web Summit to connect church staff, volunteers, family members and caregivers everywhere. That’s Inclusion Fusion, Key Ministry’s First Annual Special Needs Ministry Web Summit, featuring Keynote Speaker Chuck Swindoll. Register here for the Summit!
