Welcome Change? Yes!

Change the focus of treatment for autism spectrum disorders
            Remediation instead of compensation
            Sensitivity instead of scripts
            Processes instead of facts
            Communication instead of words
            Problem-solving instead of rules
            Sharing experiences instead of asking for things
            Feelings of competence instead of pieces of candy

Change the way treatment is delivered
           Make it developmental
           Make it the same approach parents use with typically-developing children
           Make it part of daily life
           Make it parent-led and family-centered

Change parents by enhancing their abilities to guide all their children
           Parents balance challenge and support to allow their children to reach new levels of understanding and ability.

Change in the person by fostering dynamic thinking in order to
            Appraise situations
            Express emotions
            Think creatively
            Become aware of self
            Use episodic memory to develop and fulfill hopes, goals and dreams

Change the dismal outcome of quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorders
            Few studies have been completed evaluating the quality of life experienced by persons with autism and the few available show hardly any adults with autism and related conditions live independently, have meaningful employment, regularly associate with friends, or marry.
