About the Course

This webinar provides a foundation on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the continuum in which this disorder manifests, specifically focusing on adolescents and young adults. Due to the complexity and co-morbidity often associated with ASD, techniques and strategies to anticipate, analyze, and provide solutions to address complex behaviors, including creating behavior plans, self-monitoring systems, and visual schedules, is an outcome of this course. This course will also provide a lens to understand the myriad of challenges faced by caregivers and opportunities to support them.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Autism Spectrum Disorder: Variance, Manifestation, and Strategies Provide Tailored Supports and Services created by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, Ph.D., LMSW in 2023.
