This webinar hosted on June 3, 2021 presented by graduate student Claire Shingleton-Smith and Drs. Maurice Feldman and Julie Koudys, Dept. Applied Disability Studies from Brock University discussed a parent focused early intervention program via telehealth for young children at-risk for ASD, while highlighting:
- Early results showing an increase in generalized parent teaching skills after the intervention
- The impact of parent training on child development
