We will discuss what these behaviors mean, develop new ways to interpret behaviors and introduce some basic strategies to help parents manage behavior at home and in the community.

Objectives:

• Review core characteristics of a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Develop an understanding of how core characteristics manifest themselves outwardly in behaviors associated with autism
