Autism Spectrum Resources
SPECTRUM PARENTING provides parents of children on the autism spectrum with tools and activities for helping children expand their social skills using play and social stories. Activities such as “Ways to Play” and “What to Expect” provide parents and children with a guide and context for learning the concepts of similarities and differences. Families also learn how to help children anticipate what they will experience when they transfer to a new community, home, installation, and/or school.
The SPECTRUM PARENTING series includes 29 videos and 9 print materials.
