This study is determining the feasibility of MIG as an intervention tool for caregivers and their child with autism via telepractice. MIG is a parenting experience where you and your child will meet with a counselor virtually (on-line) for weekly one-hour sessions. Through the use of recorded and virtual discussions you will learn to understand what your child is saying and what your child needs from you. You will receive help in setting limits and getting him or her to listen to you. In learning a technique called “Watch, Wait and Wonder” you will get to know your child better. there is also an aspect of this program that helps you explore your own upbringing and understand how it affects your parenting.
