1) Every child with autism can improve and can be helped to lead a dignified and meaningful life with consistent and appropriate intervention.

2) A child is better understood by his/her parents only when the parents know how to use appropriate teaching strategies with their children. They can be the ideal people to help the children learn and grow in different environment.

3) When the parents know appropriate methods to teach their children, they are empowered to take an active role in shaping their child's and family's future.

4) When parents are taught strategies of relating to and educating their children, the parent child interaction becomes more meaningful, productive and enjoyable for both parent and the child.
