Monthly Learning Series

This month’s learning series explores the connection between challenging behaviors, communication, and underlying medical and developmental factors in individuals with autism. Families will learn how inflammation, gut health, sensory processing, and differences in communication can influence behavior, while gaining practical strategies to support regulation, self-expression, and meaningful communication.

Thank you to Spectrum Awakening for sponsoring this month’s learning series.

Why Monthly Learning Series?

Fresh, Focused Topics Each Month

Each month highlights a specific topic relevant to individuals with autism, offering focused education that builds knowledge over time across the lifespan

Expert-Led, On-Demand Education

Access free, on-demand video presentations from experienced physicians, providers, therapists, and other professionals. Each session delivers practical, evidence-informed guidance you can watch at your convenience

Curated Resources You Can Use

Each topic is paired with a curated collection of TACA resources, including articles and checklists. These materials are designed to reinforce learning and provide clear next steps you can apply in real-life situations
