“I love that the course lessons are short and to the point. I also really like how Sasha presents the information. She speaks to the listener as a real person, not like someone who is above the learner. Her experience as a teacher, BCBA, and parent shows through in her presentations.”
“My morale has increased because I feel confident with the quality of The Autism Helper materials that I am using to educate my students. My workload has been greatly reduced because the curriculum is so well organized.”
“I love the Membership! As a BCBA who originally worked in in-home treatment, I feel that this membership really helped me with the transition to the school setting. Even if Sasha presents things I already know I love hearing it in a new way or in a way that I can use when training aides.”
