Ask the Expert: Understanding Your Child

​Is your child struggling with communication, social connection, or challenging behavior — and you're not sure where to turn?

​Join us for an intimate evening with Olga Shapovalova, BCBA — a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with 30+ years of experience, a Master's in Applied Behavior Analysis, and deep knowledge of California's support systems for children with autism and developmental differences.

​Olga is in San Francisco for an international conference and has set aside this evening exclusively for Bay Area families. This is a rare chance to get real answers — in a small group setting where every question matters.

​This evening is for you if your child:

​— has difficulty connecting with peers

​— shows challenging behavior (meltdowns, aggression, withdrawal)

​— has a recent autism diagnosis — or you suspect one

​— and you don't know what the next step should be

​ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a science-based approach that helps children learn to communicate, connect, and navigate daily life. Olga will explain how it works — and how to access it through California's school and Regional Center system.
