There’s often a gap between diagnosis and the start of services. ESPA offers a short parent education program to help families get started with simple strategies for play and interaction.

During this session parents receive general information about autism, as well as an introduction and outline for the parent education program.
How to connect with a child and teach skills within that connection. How to utilize a child’s interests and current skill level to maximize learning
Helping parents understand the sensory system and how this impacts behavior. Sharing ideas about activities to support regulation and foster learning
How to elicit nonverbal communication, functional language, and turn taking.
