Monthly Learning Series:

Behavioral issues in autism may be one of the hardest issues for parents to manage. Children with autism may display extensive, long-lasting behavior. Addressing challenging behaviors is complex. This month, TACA will discuss both therapeutic and medical aspects of challenging behavior.
