Each year nearly 1 in 110 children are
diagnosed with autism. As more children and families face
the challenges of autism, the alarming rise in incidence
demands increased clinical and educational services for the
autism community. Alpine Learning Group’s Parent Training
and Education Program is designed to meet this urgent need
by delivering critical support and services to the growing

Program, the Parent Training and Education Program, which

pediatricians refer parents of newly-diagnosed children to

Alpine’s skilled clinicians will offer families reliable,
up-to-date information about proven, science-based
treatments for their children with autism. The Early

training services to address problem behavior and to promote
language and social skills. Alpine’s
