    I am wondering if anyone has a review about organizations called "Breakthrough Interventions, LLC" or "Breaking Through Autism"? The director's name is Dr. Annette Nuñez. They offer online therapy and trainings for families around the world which are of interest to me since I am an expat and am often looking for resources for the families I work with. There is very little help here for those who have been diagnosed with ASD. The online portion of the company is Autismtherapy.online which is a subscription based service.

    I have no direct experience or references on her, but from what I can see, she appears to be a legitimate professional, with a Lovaas/ABA focus in her therapeutic approach. The online program looks more like a parent training course (which is great, if done well!) than true online therapy. That's reasonable, of course, since it would be tricky to do ABA directly with children online. More useful to teach the parents how to do it with them, and better transfer and generalization anyway.

    A parent training would be an excellent resource for our parents. Thank you for responding.
