These videos range from 6 to 10 minutes in length. This series takes families through what a child is learning during typical daily activities such as waking up, diapering or toileting, handwashing, breakfast, getting dressed, cleaning up, afternoon and evening mealtimes, bath time, and bedtime.

Raising a child diagnosed with ASD can be confusing and overwhelming. Many times, parents and family members struggle to understand the diagnosis, how to support their child's success, and how to problem-solve through challenges. Information from our seminars, webcasts, and online courses can help families and caregivers understand more about appropriate interventions and strategies to help their child.
For Educators
Special education teachers, related services personnel, general education teachers, and other educators are very important in supporting students with ASD to be successful! VCU-ACE has created many resources, tools, and training opportunities with you in mind.
