I love getting updates on children who have gone through my course. Michelle C. has joined me on the podcast before when her daughter Elena was first diagnosed with autism two years ago. I talk a lot about Elena’s case and she’s been featured in several chapters of my book, Turn Autism Around. This episode is airing on Elena’s 4th birthday as we discuss her truly amazing progress.

Early Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Michelle first started noticing delays and differences in Elena’s development when she was 18 months old. Language delays and self-injurious behavior became serious symptoms that led to an early diagnosis by her pediatric neurologist at 23 months. Before Elena could even begin therapies, COVID shut down the world in March 2020. An early diagnosis can secure opportunities for therapy and insurance coverage, although this unfortunately didn’t benefit Michelle’s family, she was able to get to work at home right away.

Benefits of ABA Therapy

With a new diagnosis, Michelle knew ABA therapy was important for Elena’s development. With therapy facilities being shut down left and right due to COVID, the internet led her to my Toddler and Preschooler Course. This course provides parents and professionals with the opportunity to learn and teach their child using proven ABA strategies. Michelle got right to work, finding that the table time aspect of the course provided her with a valuable connection to her daughter. Michelle finished the course in less than 60 days and saw language improvement of 2 words to 500, used consistently with function. This changed both Elena and Michelle’s lives in a big way!

Michelle is a wonderful example of the power of captaining your own ship. The progress she has seen with Elena has made a big impact on her and she now is able to effectively advocate for both of her daughters. Michelle is a valued adviser on our on team, reading and responding to comments across our platforms to help parents. I am so thankful for her willingness to share her and Elena’s story!
