About the offering
01This three-month program supports parents and caregivers of young children on the autism spectrum during the period between diagnosis and school placement. It combines structured training sessions with individual home visits, helping families translate learning into everyday practice. The program empowers parents to support their child’s social communication and behavior using evidence-based approaches, including SPELL, TEACCH, and PECS.
Prior to the start of each cycle, Renad Academy hosts an introductory session to provide parents and caregivers with detailed information about the program and support with registration. Participants commit to weekly sessions lasting two and a half hours, delivered either as group training or home visits, creating opportunities to build skills and receive personalized guidance within their own environment.
Sessions are offered in English or Arabic to accommodate different language needs and ensure accessibility for all families. By combining group learning with individualized home-based support, the program helps parents build confidence and gain practical strategies to support their child’s development during the early years following diagnosis.
