Caregivers play a critical role in early detection and intervention of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The early stages of a diagnosis are a particularly stressful—and confusing—time for most caregivers. Accordingly, professionals should be prepared to support caregivers as they navigate the evaluation process and explore intervention options for their child. This training is designed for professionals whom families may turn to for advice. We will provide you with information that can help you guide caregivers about what to look for, where to turn, and what to do following a diagnosis.
