Description:

Paying attention to changes in a child’s behavior is important and can mean the difference between providing that child with the help he/she needs and letting it go without a diagnosis. Knowing what to do once you recognize those behavioral changes is even more important.

We're joined by Tanya Lopez and Caitlyn Marcus, two Board Certified Behavioral Analysts who have spent over 10 years perfecting their skills in working with families that have children with special needs, including autism. They help families and children overcome behavioral challenges inside and outside of the home. In this episode, they explain what they do and how they use their education and experiences to work with families.
