About the Workshop
This workshop is designed for parents and professionals striving for a better understanding of the needs of those on the Autism Spectrum who are verbal, including those with High-Functioning Autism. Participants will learn not only functional treatment strategies they can use both at school and at home, but they will also better understand why these students react and respond the way they do.
