When working with children on the spectrum, time is not your friend. Recent studies suggest the impact of early intervention can vastly improve outcomes, result in fewer communication and developmental delays, and possibly even eliminate symptoms.

This recording is designed to help attendees identify early indicators of ASD that are often missed and build time-critical support systems for fostering academic readiness, empathy, emotional regulation, and impulse control during the most formative years.

Susan Hamre, director of the Autism Trainer Center near Chicago, demonstrates real world applications and outcomes of today’s most effective early intervention strategies in interactive labs, videos, and case studies.

1. Design critically timed support systems for individuals with ASD, combining evidence-based sensory, communication, relationship, and behavioral interventions
2. Create an ASD user-friendly learning environment, seamlessly integrating tablets and technology with traditional interventions
3. Distinguish between meltdowns and temper tantrums by understanding functions of underlying behavior
4. Identify the dominating impact of environment, sensory, communication, and social challenges
5. Evaluate the very early signs of possible ASD and identify treatment interventions
6. Describe self-advocacy and de-escalation strategies that help parents and clinicians promote sustainable self-regulation and possibly prevent meltdowns

The impact of the environment should not be underestimated.

• Challenges (videos)
