The HANDS in Autism® Early Childhood 3Day Training continues to equip early childhood professionals with practical strategies to support learners through structured, evidencebased approaches. Over the course of three intensive days, attendees explored key topics including behavior supports, goal writing, data-driven decision-making, and designing individualized learning materials.
This cohort brought strong engagement, thoughtful questions, and collaborative energy from start to finish. Participants especially appreciated the balance of instruction, hands-on application, and opportunities to create materials tailored to their own settings.
What participants said:
- "Reminder to have all components of SMART when constructing goals. Love the collaborative workspace and walking through elements with colleagues. Very useful, valuable training and would highly recommend!"
- "I enjoyed the case studies at the end as well as the ability to see results. All parts of the training were useful. I particularly enjoyed the ability to create materials and get feedback on the materials."
- "The behavioral segments were very helpful, and I really enjoyed the group open discussions."
- "I enjoyed today's training."
- "Honing in on the most important behavior to implement intervention for progress. Guided compliance conversation. It was a productive and informative day."
These reflections highlight the training’s hands-on approach and the value of real-time feedback and practice.
