The Autism Project

Last week, The Autism Project joined the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) conference in Anaheim, California as proud exhibitors, sharing valuable #neurodivergent resources with educators and parents. We introduced 'A Starting Point', our new asynchronous training platform designed for #educators and related professionals. This series stands out by including perspectives from autistic advocates who share proactive strategies that have supported them throughout life, alongside insights from parents, educators, and professionals.

We're excited to announce that ‘A Starting Point’, our comprehensive 10-hour training program for educators, is officially live! After a successful November 1st launch, we're thrilled to provide this accessible and impactful resource to educators everywhere. ‘A Starting Point’ is more than just a training—it's a toolkit for creating a more inclusive and supportive classroom. Developed with valuable insights from autistic individuals, parents, and educators, it offers practical strategies and perspectives to meet the unique challenges in today's classrooms. Designed for flexibility, this program lets you learn at your own pace, on your schedule, and from anywhere. In just 10 hours, you'll gain hands-on tools and techniques to create positive changes in your students' learning experiences. ?? Ready to begin?
