Hi, I’m Dr. Mary Barbera and I’ve been in the autism world for over 2 decades, first as a confused parent, and then as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
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.
Over the past 25 years, 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 miraculous gains.
But that’s not every story. With autism numbers rising exponentially, there are millions of parents, professionals, 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. If you’re an autism professional, the maze is difficult to navigate on your own, but with “the right” help, you can get relief.
All my best,
In as little as 15-minutes a day, you’ll be able to implement an effective treatment plan for your child or client.
This journey is difficult to walk alone. Be inspired by other parents and professionals who know what it’s like to walk in your shoes.
Gain confidence, competence, and life-long relationships by growing alongside other autism parents and professionals.
When you Register for the Turn Autism Around® School-Age Course, you’ll receive exclusive access to our Private Members-only Facebook Group.
You’ll join hundreds of parents and professionals from around the world who want to help make things better for you and your child. This community is here for you when you have questions or need support.
Jump in and join one of the most gracious and engaging online communities in the autism world!

There are 6 Modules in the Turn Autism Around® online course. 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 15 hours, so most participants spend 2-3 hours per week to learn these life-changing strategies.
The Turn Autism Around® 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 Turn Autism Around® Course 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! 15 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.
