Autism 101: What Families Need to Know

Action Behavior Centers
Dec 4, 2025

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

At Action Behavior Centers (ABC), we help children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) reach milestone moments. Compassionate care is at the heart of everything we do, and our highly trained clinicians deliver evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Our autism services include
diagnostic support, 1:1 individualized care, parent training, school readiness programs, and Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) across hundreds of centers in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Texas. Because no family should have to wait for help, ABC offers immediate access to care. Contact us today to get started.
