Very good examples helped me understand coping behaviors, I also was unfamiliar with the term mutual regulation and how that affects children with ASD. New strategies were excellent.

The presentation was presented in a clear, concise manner with excellent examples to use in treatment. This subject matter is so very relevant and important to our ASD students who are often perceived as being "stubborn" or "spoiled" when they are in fact overwhelmed and just trying to survive!
