The HANDLE® Approach to the Autism Spectrum 

This 12-hour introductory course teaches the Foundations and Applications of HANDLE through the lens of the Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is a special opportunity to understand the process through which Judith Bluestone developed her theories of autism. It may just be life-changing for you, too, as you gain the “HANDLE eyes” to better understand those on the autism spectrum. 

In this 2-day workshop you will:

• Begin to understand perplexing behaviors by recognizing the underlying neurological irregularities which they communicate. 
• Learn how to use Gentle Enhancement® to prevent crises, support healthy development, and help individuals reach their life and learning goals.
• Gain a toolkit of gentle, effective activities which you can use to reduce stress, and improve learning and focus
