Learn how behaviour analysis can be used to teach socially significant skills to improve quality of life for individuals with Autism and their families.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that affects 1 in 66 individuals in Canada. ASD can affect the ability to communicate and interact socially. Those with ASD will often engage in repetitive/restricted behaviours. ASD is a spectrum therefore the degree to which an individual experiences these challenges will vary.
