Autism 101: What Families Need to Know
In this webinar, clinical experts from Action Behavior Centers explain what autism spectrum disorder is, how it can look different from child to child, and when signs may first appear. The panel walks through the core areas of autism, including social skills, communication, and behavior or interests, while also highlighting strengths and neurodiversity. Families will also learn what causes autism, how clinicians describe support needs, and what steps to take if they have concerns about their child.
This session is led by three leaders in the field:
- Claire Schutte, Psy.D., BCBA-D, Vice President of Evaluation & Research
- Angie Carrillo, Psy.D., Senior Director of Evaluation Quality & Training
- Shelby Wolf, Ph.D., LP, BCBA-D, NCSP, Assistant Regional Director of Psychology
