Parent Interventions:Geared for families that have a child with ASD, ages 0-8.Project ImPact is a program from Michigan State University that guides families in implementing interventions at home to teach their child communication and play skills. Families who utilized these interventions reported feeling empowered and even taught siblings how to use the strategies to have positive play experiences. Each week you will receive a message detailing a new intervention, which comes with a video to model it in action. View it at your leisure. Remind platform allows for you to privately message ASD Consultant or other parents to ask questions when trying out the strategy with your own child.
