Do you have a child with autism? Do you want to learn how to teach your child new skills?

Researchers from West Virginia University are looking for parents that want to learn how to teach new skills to their children with autism. Parents who participate will learn how to implement Discrete Trial/ABA teaching through written instructions or video.

To be eligible, parents must:
•Have a child between 18-48 months of age who meets the diagnostic criteria for autism
•Live in West Virginia
•Be willing to participate in a year-long research study

Interested parties should call the WVU Center for Excellence in Disabilities at (304) 293-4692 x1111, and mention the parent-training study.
