Symptoms are present in early development, affect daily functioning, and ASD presentation, severity, and symptoms vary widely. This training has been developed to provide staff with an increased understanding and acceptance of Autism, provide strategies and techniques for professional caregivers to improve how they interact with youth with ASD, and increase comfort dealing with challenging behaviors of youth with ASD.
