Psychoeducation for parents of kids with autism prepares them to deal with the challenges ahead and take care of their kids in the best way possible. Being aware of periodic developmental screening and the early symptoms of autism can ensure treatment and management of this condition begins as early as possible.

This psychoeducation handout will help parents learn about what triggers their child’s challenging behavioral symptoms associated with their autism. It is important for them to figure out the triggers so that they are prepared well ahead to deal with them in case exposure is inevitable.
