What are the biggest stumbling blocks to getting parents to participate in and embrace an intensive behavioral intervention? Oddly enough, it can be as simple as understanding the parent perspective. Shannon Penrod is a mom of a child diagnosed with autism at 2 ½ years old; fortunately, he started an intensive, quality ABA program at the age of 3. His success has made Shannon a true believer in the power of ABA in treating autism. Now Shannon shares the often hilarious, sometimes tragic mindset of the autism parent. Can you get these overwhelmed, under-slept parents to understand and participate in their child’s intervention? Yes! And when you do they will often become your biggest cheerleaders. Shannon will give you the parent 411 so you can decode their behavior, arrive at the function, and begin to implement effective behavior intervention plans that parents can buy into.
