This session is a MUST if you have a child who struggles to fall asleep, wakes up in the night, and/or needs others to be present when he/she falls asleep. We look at what research shows about how to most effectively treat sleep issues commonly associated with autism. Information from the most credible sources is reviewed and shared. Parents can complete a sleep worksheet to help identify their child’s unique challenges about sleep and leave with specific tools and strategies to implement immediately.

This session provides parents with the skills to evaluate challenging behaviors in the moment and feel confident they are responding correctly. Responding correctly is absolutely critical if behaviors are going to decrease over time. Often, adults respond in a way to stop the behavior in the moment but doing so may inadvertently be contributing to the problem behavior.

Parents will be able to:

• Identify and explain the functions/reasons challenging behaviors occur
• Practice responding accordingly to challenging behaviors based on function/reason
• Help coach others to also respond correctly

We all know “play is the work of the child” but some parents feel like playing with their child is work. This may be because it is difficult to know how to play with a child who plays differently. This session will provide some guidance on how to approach play as a play partner. We will provide strategies to reduce demands and insure a balance in play which may keep your child playing with you longer and enjoying it more.
