This Lunch-and-Learn webinar series offers an introduction to the Advancing Social-communication And Play (ASAP) intervention—a supplemental approach designed to support young autistic children. Participants will gain insight into the structure and content of the ASAP model, including freely available tools like assessments, goal hierarchies, and strategies for both focused and generalized intervention activities. The webinar will feature video examples, practical tips, and troubleshooting strategies to support successful implementation with young autistic children. While ASAP was originally developed for use in school settings, it can be easily adapted for other environments such as homes and childcare centers.
