Description
To provide support to practitioners/educators/professionals engaged in support of individuals with ASD around the globe.
We provide educational exchange opportunities for professionals providing diagnosis and treatment of ASD. The exchange includes in-country trainings (ranging between 2-5 day trainings) followed by experiential training at the Seattle Children’s Autism Center in which providers come to the US for a semi-structured training experience (costs of travel are covered by trainees while the training/supervision is pro bono). Training is individualized and has included integrated observation of diagnosis and treatment across multiple disciplines and development and supervision of an independent research project.
