“As a school psychologist trained in discrete trial and applied behavioral analysis, Rethink Autism allows me to spread the love! Rethink provides access to high quality online training, easy-to-use data collection, and an expansive bank of lessons.”
Ben Springer, Psychologist at Park City School District
“We have been using Rethink Autism in a special education classroom for 2 years and it has made an amazing impact on outcomes for our students with autism and staff members who utilize the program. The immediate access to training videos has saved our school district money and time since staff members no longer need to travel to get training necessary for quality student programming. I intend to use Rethink for more students next school year, including those in inclusive educational settings.”
Deb Swink, Special Education Director, Clinton School District
“Rethink Autism has met a need for our district on many levels - for students, parents, staff and administration, alike. The program has allowed for us to move forward with providing quality, data-driven programming in support of our students on the autism spectrum. Additionally, it provides a resource for parents to support generalization and maintenance of skill in the home setting via their online resources and technical support.”
Dawn Netzel, Supervisor of Pupil-Special Services, Edison Township Schools

Christine C. (IL)
“Without Rethink Autism, my work could not be so effective and so successful - you really give me the right method and the right Program for [my son]’s progress. By watching your videos and using your techniques, I help [my son] to progress day after day. During this month we have discovered a new child, he is smart, he has a great potential and he learns so fast. Rethink Autism gives me the tools that I need. I hope that other parents discover your site and take advantage of your services and your tools in order to be able to help their children. Thank you so much!”

“It was great to speak with you the other day. I really appreciate you and your team and the excellent work you do at Rethink Autism. You are a great encouragement to us. Keep up the great work!”
Mark T. (OK)
“Thank you so much for your call, and also for this email with all the attachments (you guys are really creative and the token boards are lovely). I was so inspired by what I saw that I made one myself last night (stayed up late). I will try using it today (am really excited about it). Hopefully, I will be wise and not push him beyond his limits. Thank you again for your support - it really means a lot to me.”
Deborah O. (Singapore)
“This is the second time my son has joined school, before in January he was unable to sit down with a group or even imitate steps to a song. However after starting [Rethink Autism’s] ABA curriculum for the first time he was able to sit with others although it wasn't for too long and he was pay attention to activities and do work sitting!! Thanks to your help. When I began this curriculum he wasn't able to imitate gestures at all. Although he has reached mastery steps in some of the current lessons I am still practicing it. I realize the first lessons are important in creating a solid foundation to the other steps.”
Khadeeja A. (Thailand)
“Rethink Autism rocks!! I was feeling lost and overwhelmed before I found this program. Now there is hope! Thank you!”
Liz H. (IN)
“Finally......A place where I can go and find the tools I need to help my daughter. I am so excited about this. I told all my friends at my Thursday night support group. There was so much that was put into this site and the staff is unbelievable. [My daughter] and I thank you for making this possible for us and all the people involved in the autism community.”
Alice G.C. (NY)
“You guys are awesome! My son just lost his services because he starts school September 1st... my husband and I didn't know how we were going to continue with ABA services. We are so grateful for your program. It’s definitely worth the investment!”
Noni-Ayanna G.R. (RI)
“Last week after we hung up I realized there was something you really helped us with that we have seen positive progress on. You advised me about how to get [my son] out of the car by saying only "let's go" and helping him out. Once we started simplifying the command he started coming out of the car much better within a few days and after about a week I didn't need my daughter to get him out of the car. He even got out of the car at the doctor's office (he hates that place). So thank you for that!”
Teresa H. (TX)
“My wife and I have started with the Rethink Autism website and have put some concerted effort in. Once a week one of their consultants calls us and speaks with us for upwards of an hour giving us guidance and monitoring [our son]’s progress. We're getting into the swing of it and committing time every day to have a good go and it is paying off already. [Our son] has done some independent pointing, is making good eye contact when asked, and progressing towards some other things. Best of all he likes being in his room doing 'homework'! Who wouldn't with bits of Jelly snake for motivation! Love interacting with him and his smiles:)”
