Generalization and Maintenance
We understand that success means the child performs the skills they’ve learned with all the people, places, and situations necessary. If your child learns a skill, but it doesn’t maintain over time or is exclusive to specific people or location is, the skill isn’t that useful.
In 2021, we presented at the National Autism Conference on Generalization and Maintenance of skills. Please watch the video here!
