This is Unit 1 today. Units 2 to 6 move to this format one by one.

Who it is for

Moms, dads and families

You want to understand what to do at home and why, without waiting for someone else to explain it.

Teachers and classroom aides

You work with an autistic child in the classroom and need a clear plan you can measure.

Therapists who are starting out

You want to organize how you work with the same structure I use in my clinic.

If your schedule does not let you join on Saturdays, or you live in another time zone, this format is for you.

What you learn in each unit

The pre-course Preparación is free with your free account; the units are paid. Buy only the ones you need, or all of them. I recommend starting with Unit 1 because the others build on it, but the order is up to you: you can take a later unit first and come back to the earlier ones. This suits experienced therapists and teachers who want to brush up on one specific concept.

Unit 2

Play therapy

Why play is the method and not only a reward. Joint attention, motivation and imitation; you build your child's play block and learn to solve everyday obstacles.

Behavior communicates: its four functions and how to observe it with the ABC record. Reinforcement without traps, replacement behavior and how to build a behavior plan for home, school and clinic.

Unit 6

Programs for autistic adults

How to support an autistic adult as the client, not the subject: goals the adult chooses, with a five-level ladder in their own words; the same questions every week as data; if-then plans; regulation and communication in daily life; and how to measure progress together.

Questions

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free TherapyConnectData account. That is where you see your units, answer the questions and take the exams. If you do not have one, you create it in a minute before paying.

How long do I have?

12 months from the day you buy each unit, as many times as you want. If you buy all 6 together, all 6 have 12 months from that day.

Are all 6 units ready?

Units 1 and 2 are complete. Unit 3 is complete on November 7. Units 4, 5 and 6 open as I finish them with the group, between November 2026 and February 2027, and they appear in your account on their own.

Does the price include VAT (IVA)?

Yes. $990 MXN per unit and $4,900 MXN for all 6 already include IVA, like the manual. The group course is different: IVA is added to the unit payments at checkout.

Are the lessons in my language?

For now the lessons are in Spanish. This page and your account are in your language, and the lessons are coming soon in your language.

In what order should I study?

I recommend starting with Unit 1, because the others build on it. But you can buy and study the one you need most today.

Can I ask Dr. Dan questions?

This format has no personal feedback. If you want to talk about your case, book a consultation with me or join the group course.
