Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that affects 1 in 66 individual in Canada. ASD can affect an individual’s ability to communicate, socially interact and will often engage in repetitive/ restricted behaviours. ASD is a spectrum therefore the degree to which an individual experiences these challenges will vary. This is an ABAI accredited program for the BCaBA 5th edition sequence.
