Training Opportunity

Building Interactive Social Communication
(BISC) is a federally funded research project that supports early intervention providers who serve toddlers with early signs of autism, language delays,
and other social communication concerns. The BISC intervention focuses on social communication during the sensitive learning period before age 3.

How will providers learn BISC?
* Providers are randomly assigned to an intervention or control group.
* Providers in the intervention group will learn and deliver the BISC intervention for 20 weeks and integrate it within their weekly scheduled sessions. They will learn through self-study and weekly 30-minute virtual meetings with an intervention consultant.
Providers in the control group will deliver their usual intervention to families for 20 weeks and receive self-study materials at the end.
