- I think the certification within autism as a specialty has really opened up my understanding of how to understand the consumers, interpersonal skills, especially when using remote conferencing tools like zoom, Microsoft Teams goto meeting, Skype and even FaceTime.I think when it comes to individuals with social communication deficits.
