Do you work with clients with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Changes in the as DSM-5 can make it difficult to diagnose and treat these clients due to the broader label – and the techniques you’re using may not have the best outcomes anymore.
When I started using a person-centered approach to treat clients on the higher end of the Autism Spectrum Disorder, I felt empowered by their progress and saw them function better in daily life.
Now I want to show you how to use this method, too.
When you enroll in my video course - High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder - I'll show you strategies to grow academic skills, regulate emotions, treat social-communication obstacles, approach obsessive interests, develop play skills and much more in your clients.
This digital course gives you extensive strategies to meet the needs of each individual under the boarder label for High Functioning Autism – and increase daily function success.
I hope you join me,
