Product Description:

The information contained in this packet is intended to compliment the Talking to Parents About Autism Action Kit developed by Autism Speaks. The Autism Speaks training materials primarily target childcare providers and early childhood teachers in community settings. This packet with its supporting materials is intended for practitioners in early intervention (Part C) and early childhood special education (Part B/619) programs. Parents need to know that early intervention and early childhood special education services are always individualized for a child and provided according to need and not prescribed by diagnosis. This is consistent with federal law and state statutes governing Part C and Part B/619 services. Parents also need to know that they made the right decision when they decided to trust you to evaluate their child. They need to know if your team sees possible signs of an ASD. They need your help in making fully informed decisions about next steps for their child and family.
