U Discovering is a new online learning guide for parents of children with Autism. The program is called Discovering Behavioral Intervention and offers a series of online training tools to help families and professionals touched by or working in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. There are 10 modules with multiple chapters per modules, interactive learning objects to help parents test their learning, videos that demonstrate appropriate intervention techniques and family-friendly overviews of ABA concepts.
