👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 "A Personal Touch:" "I am a mum of 6 children, 3 of which are autistic. Your course has helped me a lot tonight. I learned about the different pregnancy stages each of my autistic children went through and how that relates to their development. The information on mirroring was also incredibly insightful. We have noticed an improvement in our non-verbal, 3-year-old's behaviors since we started copying and joining in with his play." - Lindsey R
