Types of Challenging Behaviors in Children with Autism (ASD) and how to manage them

Behaviors in children with Autism (ASD) can range from acting out behaviors like tantrums, self-aggression, to passive behaviors, like engaging in self-stimulation and a lack of response. If they are not understood and managed, the child's learning and development can be affected.
At AP, we help parents to examine the different types of behaviors, how some are learned and identify why they occur. We utilize techniques that will proactively address disruptive behaviors to prepare a child to be more ready to learn.
