Cigna insurance provides an Autism Awareness Series of free phone seminars on its website. You do not have to be a Cigna consumer, these are open to everyone. There are currently only three new seminars scheduled but you can access the old ones via MP3. They are a phone seminar so you would just be listening to the presenter, no video, but some of the topics are really relevant.
Additionally, each seminar has a handout that can be downloaded and some of them, like the toilet training one, has a data tracking sheet, as well. I have listened to a few and feel that they do a nice job presenting the subject matter. Below is a list of the seminars. I would recommend taking a few minutes to look at the topics to determine if any of them are relevant to your family. The link to access the site is:
