Tim, 3½ years old with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, had no spoken language, frequent tantrums and self-injury, and limited ability to follow directions. He was not toilet trained, did not use a spoon, and did not play with toys meaningfully. He also had no reliable way to express preferences. The behaviour consultant provided a weekly home-based early childhood session focused on coaching Tim’s parents. Strategies were modelled and practised with them, targeting simple communication routines, early play skills, and independence in daily tasks. Parents applied the strategies throughout the week, and progress was reviewed and adjusted during each session as Tim developed new skills.
