All About Autism

This video offers a comprehensive overview of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), how it is diagnosed, as well as viable intervention options, in particular for children <18 years old. We also share an overview of ABA, including misconceptions and how best practice should look in 2025.

This workshop was presented by Dr. Anna DiNoto, PsyD, LMHC, CFMHE and Sofya Hadley, MS, BCBA.

Dr. Anna is a neurodiverse psychologist who has two children with ASD. Sofya is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at 2020 Behavior, also with two children. They both live in Washington state.
