For parents whose child is in autism therapy, or stuck waiting for more
If the progress you see at the clinic never quite shows up at home, you've found the gap every therapist knows about: skills stick when they're practiced in real routines, by the person who's there every day. That's you.
A licensed clinical psychologist and autism specialist translated the professionals' methods for your kitchen, your bathtub, and the 8am scramble out the door. Her complete book is included.

Speech is thirty minutes on Tuesdays. Maybe OT is thirty minutes on Thursdays. Meanwhile your child is awake around a hundred hours a week, and the person who's there for nearly all of them is you. That isn't a burden the system dumped on you. Used well, it's the biggest lever anyone has.
Therapy hours for children with autism are scarce, expensive, and rationed by waitlists and insurance. Your hours are none of those things. The session plants the skill. Home is where it grows. The research-backed early intervention programs are built around coaching parents for exactly this reason: warm, responsive, everyday interactions during meals, baths, play, and getting dressed are where communication, attention, and regulation actually take root. This kit is that coaching, in printable form.
"The most impactful intervention your child can receive is you."

Look inside
Not packaging, not a table of contents. The actual tools, exactly as you'll print them, chosen for parents whose child with autism is in therapy and who want the other hours to count.
Every page connects back to a chapter in the included book, so you always know the why behind the what.
Sample 1 · The first thing a speech therapist changes
You've watched your child's therapist do this without quite being able to name it. The left column is how most of us naturally talk. The right column is what works: short, clear, repeatable phrases that match where your child is. Feel the difference in ten seconds, then use it at dinner.
Tonight: swap one question for a comment. "That's a big truck!" instead of "What's that?"
Sample 2 · Respond the way the therapist does
Therapists are trained in what to do in the moment right after a child attempts to communicate, because that response is where the skill gets built. This table puts the whole playbook in one place: for every kind of attempt, from a glance to a reach to a first word, exactly what to do and exactly what to say.
Tonight: when they reach for something, name it before you hand it over. "You want the ball!"
Sample 3 · Track progress like a therapist
Handwashing becomes 12 small, teachable steps, each with a weekly chart showing exactly how much help it still needs. Dressing, toothbrushing, toileting, and eating with a spoon get the same treatment, so you can watch independence grow the way a therapist measures it: one faded prompt at a time.
This week: pick one routine and track just its first three steps.

Licensed clinical psychologist & autism specialist
The methods in this kit are the ones the professionals train in. Andrea has spent two decades teaching them to the people who matter most: the parents who are there every day.
For more than two decades, Dr. Burgio-Murphy has worked in early childhood development, autism assessment, therapy, and parent consultation. She wrote this book and kit to translate developmental science into steps parents can take in everyday interactions, starting well before a formal diagnosis.
This kit doesn't replace speech, OT, ABA, or any professional care, and we'd never suggest it should. In fact, show these pages to your child's providers; many therapy models include a parent component, and it's worth asking about. What this kit does is make the other hundred hours pull in the same direction as the thirty minutes, so the progress you're paying for finally has somewhere to live.
For parents and caregivers of young autistic children, especially toddlers and preschoolers.
Get the Before & After Simplified Language table (the one above) free, printable, no strings. It's the page to tape to the fridge before dinner tonight.

Turn mealtimes, bath time, and getting dressed into the practice hours therapy can't give you.
