Parents Just Like You Are Turning Things Around

They are leading happier lives and so can you!

Dr. Barbera's course has taught me so much and has given me the tools to help my son, Brandon, as well as made me a better advocate for him.

Nicole, Mom & Course Alumni

We are just so thankful for Dr. Barbera and her courses. Our son would not be where he is today without her. Everyone around us sees how much progress he has made.

Jennifer, Mom & Course Alumni

Therapists come and go, but parents are parents for life. I think it’s vital that parents continue working to educate themselves.

Get Relief from the Autism Treatment Maze Today!

Hi, I’m Dr. Mary Barbera
I know what it feels like to be lost in the autism treatment maze. It’s a lonely, scary place. But, I also know what it’s like to come out on the other side – to see real transformations take place.
I’ve been in the autism world for over 25 years first as a confused parent and then as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
Over the past 2 decades, I’ve worked directly with hundreds of children with autism and have trained thousands of professionals and parents worldwide through my online courses. Many children have made amazing gains.
But that’s not every story. With autism numbers rising exponentially, there are millions of parents and children who desperately need help and have nowhere to turn.
This course was designed to teach you proven and child-friendly techniques so you can help your child or clients talk more and tantrum less! Plus you’ll learn strategies to improve picky eating, sleeping, potty training, and so much more.
This course was made for you. Whether you’re an overwhelmed parent or autism professional, the maze is difficult to navigate on your own, but with “the right” help, you can get relief.
I’ll see you inside!

Frequently Asked Questions

There are 6 Modules in the School-Age Course and Community. Each Module is split into 3 or more easy-to-watch video lessons. The homework (which is not turned in or graded) will help you apply all the concepts learned. The total time it takes to watch the course is approximately 10 hours, so most participants spend 1-2 hours per week to learn these life-changing strategies.
The School-Age Online Course is used by parents and professionals to help children ages 6 and up who are diagnosed with autism and not yet conversational. Many of our members are worried parents who want more and/or different treatment for their child and want to learn proven strategies to help their child immediately.
One of the true advantages of this program is the fact that you can access the video lessons and content as well as the online community at any time no matter where you are located. In fact, since Dr. Barbera’s online courses were first launched in 2015, we’ve had members from over 100 different countries spanning 6 continents.
Yes, the Facebook Group is very active and monitored on a very regular basis by our community manager and other professionals, including Dr. Barbera, who can discuss the course and answer your course questions. Due to ethical and legal requirements, however, we cannot offer specific programming advice for your particular child or client. But we will guide you as you learn from the materials and help you apply the concepts. Best of all if you get stuck, we will help you. In addition to the Facebook group, live Q&A Calls with Team Barbera are held monthly and recorded for those who cannot attend live.
Yes! All videos, homework, tools, recorded and live calls, bonuses, and the Facebook Group will be available for 60 days from the date of purchase.
At the end of 60 days of access to the course, you’ll have two great options to add the Verbal Behavior Bundle course and community. You’ll find out more about these options towards the end of the school-age course. The important thing now is to dive into the course and spend 1-2 hours per week for the next 8 weeks to help your child or clients. You could literally change the trajectory of a child’s life in a very short time.
As a parent of a son with autism and a behavior analyst, I know how overwhelming information can be from different “camps” on the internet! That’s one of the main reasons I created this program so you don’t have to sift through all the information on the internet. Within the program (which can be combined with anything you have in place now), I give you step-by-step procedures all based on the science of ABA, which is the most proven therapy for children with autism.
No, I am confident you will not find these courses too basic. The School-Age Course and Community was designed for both parents and professionals so it’s not highly technical, but it is highly practical for day-to-day implementation with your child or clients!
Yes! 10 Learning BACB CEUs can be earned for BCBAs/BCaBAs with the completion of all the video modules, as well as a short evaluation of the course. A certificate of completion for 10 hours of continuing education will be given to all who finish the course. These hours can often be counted toward professional development requirements with completion of all the video modules, bonus videos, as well as a short evaluation of the course.
