ACT (Autism Crisis Turnaround)
Live Rescue Course
If your loved one on the autism spectrum experiences meltdowns, high anxiety, or extreme/explosive behavior, this is the course you need to take. Whether it’s hitting or pinching, screaming or swearing, seeming miserable or saying that they are… it’s not your child/adult's fault. And it’s not autism’s fault, either.
There is a way out if we understand and address the real underlying causes. And that’s exactly what this in-depth, step-by-step, two-day course does.
Offered a few times throughout the year (with opportunities to view recordings of anything that you miss), this course comes with the Autism Crisis Lifeline instant mini-course, which you get immediate access to upon registering. It also comes with after-course implementation support.

The 3 Autism Neuro-States:
Unblocking Learning, Communication, and Connection
Instant access mini-course
If you have ever wondered why your loved one is sometimes responsive and sometimes not, where stims come from, why your child/adult seems to have a particular skill or understanding on one day but not on another, and when the best time is to engage, play with, or teach them, then join us for this vitally important mini-workshop.
Once you understand your loved one’s three neuro-states, the answer to these questions becomes clear.
We’ll show you how to adjust the way you interact with your loved one based on the neuro-state they’re in so that you can enhance your relationship with them, help shift them out of fight-or-flight survival mode, interact with them without upsetting them, reduce anxiety, and enable them to be open and receptive to the things that you and others are endeavoring to teach and show them.

Making the Leap from Sounds to Words
Instant access mini-course
Do you love or work with someone on the autism spectrum who makes sounds but does not (reliably) use spoken words to communicate?
We will show you, step by step, how to ignite language lift-off – without pushing or pressuring. If you want help turning sounds into words and single words into two-word phrases, this is the mini-workshop for you.
Gain the tools to use your loved one’s interests to inspire language-based communication, enable them to surmount any frustration they may be experiencing, address echolalia (while honoring it), and remove hidden obstacles to speech.

Defuse Inflammatory Statements, Desires, and Decisions with Your Highly Verbal Loved One
Instant access mini-course
If you are the parent of a teen, a tween, or an adult on the autism spectrum, and you struggle with various things that your loved one says when they assert something they think (“You’re stupid!”, “All teachers suck!”) or want (“I want to punch him in the face!”, “I’m going to break into that store!”), then this is the mini-workshop for you.
It will take you through a new and much more effective and productive approach to these issues and confrontations called Taxi Driver Decisional Assistance.
We’ll show you how to give your loved one a way to work through the social and other consequences of potential decisions using a conflict-free analogy and discussion style that gives them nothing to push against or rebel against.
learn more ➛Autism Crisis Lifeline
Instant access mini-course
Get quick, first-step help with meltdowns, high anxiety, and extreme/explosive behaviors through a combination of recorded lectures, informational slides, and worksheets to fill out between the lectures.
Discover the 7 causes of meltdowns, anxiety, and near-meltdowns. Get the first step to eliminating Crisis Intensifiers. (You can’t put out the fire when there are dozens of sparks igniting it.)
Most important: Learn the 3 Lifeline Launchers to immediately lower the temperature. Note: This mini-course works best as a precursor to the ACT live rescue course, but it can also be taken on its own.

What to Do During Meltdowns and Explosions
Instant access mini-course
Do you (like a great many others) struggle with what to do during those very challenging times when your loved one on the spectrum is hitting (themselves or others), crying, screaming, swearing, or throwing/breaking things?
Whether your loved one is a surprisingly strong five-year-old or a 300-pound 25-year-old, this mini-workshop will help you feel more emotionally calm, confident, and in control, gain clarity about steps to take to keep you and others safe, enable your loved one to feel more safe and cared for during their most challenging moments, move toward de-escalation, and be the parent you most want to be during these types of situations.
Note: Although you are probably familiar with our signature ACT (Autism Crisis Turnaround) live rescue course, this mini-workshop is different. The ACT live rescue course is a comprehensive two-day course that walks you through the steps to preventing Neuro-Crashes and the meltdowns, anxiety, and extreme/explosive behavior they precipitate. This event is a ninety-minute mini-workshop that focuses on what to do during Neuro-Crashes, meltdowns, and explosions.).

THE AUTISTIC TEEN OR ADULT
Support Package*
If you’re the parent of a teenager or young adult, you know that it can really make a difference for a young person to have someone to talk to who can listen non-judgmentally, give insightful yet totally non-confrontational help, and make the whole experience fun, enjoyable, and useful.
Raun brings almost 30 years of experience working directly with teens and knows how to reach them. If you have a teen or adult on the autism spectrum, Raun has been where they are! (That’s a reason so many teens on the spectrum respect him so much.) The experience Raun provides includes:

Mastering Your Own Neuro-Crashes
We Can't Be Strong When We Use Our Brains Wrong
Live Interactive Course
Saturday, October 19th, 2024 & Sunday, October 20th, 2024
(Both days are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with two one-hour breaks.)
Price: $495
This thing called life isn't always easy. But it's often much harder than it has to be because we haven't been taught how to use our brains and regulate our nervous systems. In this mini-course, we'll show you how to martial a host of super-accessible strategies to detect your hidden S.O.S. (Signals of Stress), maintain equilibrium so that you don't feel on edge, cease reacting in ways you don't want or can't understand, gain a life-changing new understanding of boundaries (and how to set them), get off the constant "have-to" treadmill, make peace with (rather than suppressing or ignoring) unpleasant emotions, free yourself from the four types of repetitive thinking that cause mental, emotional, and physiological dysregulation, and make friends with your nervous system...instead of feeling that it's working against you.

An Advanced Course for Maximum Resilience
This exclusive, small-class-size course will take you on a deep dive into your own mind, your own inner wisdom, and how to build true resilience within yourself.
Want real help not just facing difficult bumps in the road... but also facing difficult emotions inside?
You will embark on a journey with a small, intimate group that you can trust to lean on, confide in, and work with, as you break new ground and learn how to: direct what you repeatedly focus your attention on, choose your narrative (instead of defaulting to a demoralizing one), embrace (rather than reject) your emotions, overcome boundary-setting challenges and take control, escape binary thinking so you can really view all the choices you have in a situation, see the big picture, know that you are bigger than your problems, learn from things you previously found frustrating, enjoy what is, and tap into your caring and compassion toward others.
And, guess what? You don't have to change who you are to master any of these skills.
