ARC's Parents as Teachers program helps Florida families improve the behavior of their children with autism, by showing them how to ignore bad behavior and reinforce attempts to change. "I would honestly say the largest thing they taught us is that Trey is actually a very bright child, which I can honestly say didn't occur to us because of the way he acted," parent Kylee Travis said.
