There are wonderful organizations conducting research about autism, and there are many organizations providing excellent services to people with autism and their families.

We may be the oinly orgnization in the field of autism that is focusing on people in schools, commmunity organizations, and first responders who inreract regularly with people with autism, yet have little or no information to guide them.

Help us help people with autism and their families. Every day people with autism experience severe trauma, and classrooms and businesses are unnecessarily disrupted due to misunderstandings about autism.

For instance, did you know that when a person with autism looks away from you while you are talking to them it may be that they need to look away to focus on what you are saying. We address 20 of these "Tips" in our two-hour discussion sessions which we offer at no cost to any organization requesing it.

People with autism are often capable of providing superior service to their community or business if we just take the time to learn a little bit about their behaviors. For instance, a well-intentioned pat on the shoulder may cause some people with autism to panic because of a fear of phsical contact that affects some, not all, people with autism. Isn't this worth knowing?

Our Institute was founded in 1994, and was initially focused on Constructivist-based teaching strategies. My brother Gary, for 40 years, was the go-to person in the world for information and training about autism. When I discovered that Gary has Alzheimer's I decided to write a book about him.

During the pandemic, I interviewed 83 people from around the world who had worked with Gary in the field of autism, and who documented stories I had heard about from his family. My book was published in October of 2022.

Shortly thereafter, the Institute I had founded shifted its focus 100% toward autism. However our background in teaching strategies has enabled us to create a two-hour presentation, which we conduct for any group of 10 people or more.

We do not charge for our services and we have evidence from over 2,000 evaluations of our sessions, submitted anonymously, that we are effective in changing people's .perceptions of autism and changing the way they interact with people w/autism
