Starter Parent Empowerment Program

Asynchronous module-based learning program designed for parents new to autism and in need of immediate support and intervention with busy schedules who prefer to learn at their own pace. This program will be customized to help you meet your personal goals for yourself and child, just indicate what is important to you in your initial survey! The program consists of 12-weeks worth of content and access to your personal coach for an initial 30-minute consultative meeting on Zoom, followed by weekly submission of 10-15 minute videos of interactions with your child as you practice newly learned strategies in your daily routines or play submitted for review by your coach. Your coach will provide written guidance and concrete feedback that will make an immediate impact on your connection with your child in your daily life. The program culminates with a final 30-minute consultation on Zoom with your coach to review you successes and plan for anticipated challenges ahead. In addition to personalized written feedback and consultation, you will be able to view videos of our team working with clients to highlight the concepts you are reading about and putting into practice. You will be provided with digital/printable handouts, worksheets, and quizzes to ensure your understanding and application of the individualized feedback provided by your coach. We are all about tangible shortcuts you can actually use right away to help your child!

You will learn how to teaching your child new skills through imitation, play, and by managing undesired behaviors, and creating motivation for more desired behaviors.
