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.
