Content is from the seminal text: DO-WATCH-LISTEN-SAY: Social and Communication Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Second edition. Brookes Publishing, 2017

  3. Key components of a treatment plan to reduce the frequency or intensity of RRB, when appropriate.

Case studies guide the discussion.
