Support meaningful social-communication and play for young autistic children using practical, evidence-informed strategies. This hybrid course 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. Video examples, practical tips, and troubleshooting strategies will be included to support successful implementation with young autistic children. While ASAP was originally developed for use in school settings, these strategies translate easily to clinics, homes, and childcare centers—making it a valuable addition to your current practice.
