Whether you work in a school, medical, or private practice setting, you are more likely to receive referrals for serving children with Autism Spectrum Disorders today than at any point in the past. As you know, there is tremendous variability in both the skills and the challenges individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders experience. The National Autism Center is dedicated to supporting practitioners by making information and resources more readily available. We already have available an onsite Practitioner Education Series that addresses many of the top issues about which practitioners report wanting more information. For example, in the next year, we are offering trainings on contemporary strategies for behavior reduction, the National Standards Project, preference assessment and effective use of reinforcers, and language development. It is our long-term goal to have this Practitioner Education Series available online as well. In the meantime, please see our resource guides and online library for additional information about a broad range of issues practitioners face when supporting their child with an Autism Spectrum Disorders. |
