encourage appropriate behavior, and teach self-help and communication skills.

Decades of research show ABA to be effective for children with autism and other

developmental disabilities. Whether you are starting a program to work with

your child, supplementing a school program, or are a teacher, family member or

friend who needs training, you will leave this workshop with a better

understanding of how to work and interact with the child effectively. Box lunch

provided. Childcare available. Space is limited so register early!
