“When a parent comes in with their child and they've been recently diagnosed with autism, the first thing that we do is do a lot of education and a lot of listening, because it's a scary diagnosis and parents want some answers.

And then we start to develop schedules and routines for home to help with behaviors and teach them behavior modification techniques."
