Guide to helping parents educate themselves about autism

Research can play a critical role in that education. The guide made specifically for parents includes information about how to:

  • Find information about autism
  • Distinguish between research-based and non-research-based information
  • Become savvy consumers of information by giving parents the tools to identify reputable research
  • Evaluate research studies using a guiding uniform framework
  • Interpret and apply findings to individual situations and needs

The guide is available for download from their website, or you can order a copy to be mailed. Spanish version is also available.
