Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) now affects 1 in 44, with diagnosed rates
continuing to dramatically increase. Autism Spectrum Disorder is the fastest
growing and most commonly diagnosed neurological disorder in North America
(Autism Speaks, 2017) Due to the many challenges of living with Autism,
including : communication; sensory; behavior; gross motor; fine motor; daily
living skills and more – this segment of the population is often unable to
communicate pain, unable to maintain their own health & daily hygiene, show
super heightened responses to sensory inputs and often cannot tolerate the
“regular” healthcare environment. Medical, health, safety and daily living
manifestations go undetected … and untreated … far more than the general
population. This program will help understand the reasons for, preventative
measures for and caregiving requirements for the many common manifestations as a
result of living with ASD. We will delve into dealing with challenging behaviors
