What is Porchlight?
The Porchlight Autism Education Series is a free eLearning program with over 50 modules designed to offer behavioral solutions to common daily challenges parents or caregivers may confront in the world of developmental disabilities.
Each module is a short 3-15 minute demonstration course, created by highly trained staff, including Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Pathologists, and Board Certified Behavior Analysts. Each module gives parents theory and hands-on instructions, and specific examples of behavior modifications they can make in their own homes to help their child living with a developmental disability.
Children with autism very often have deficits in language, social, and behavioral development. These modules can help you teach your child to develop life skills.
Where can you begin to gather the resources necessary to teach your child? Porchlight Education Series will give you some ideas on how to embark on this journey.
Porchlight is a project of the Pacific Autism Center for Education and was originally made possible with a grant from the United Way Silicon Valley.
