Abstract

According to the latest statistics, one in 54 children are diagnosed with ASD (CDC; 2020). Counselors can play a dynamic role in treating ASD and promoting greater life satisfaction; however; the counseling field has yet to identify the counseling competencies needed to treat ASD. This presentation will provide an overview of the qualitative inquiry that investigated mothers’ with children diagnosed with ASD experiences seeing a counseling professional and describe how their voices were incorporated to the ASD Counseling Competencies Development Model.
