“ Thank you – I am both a parent of a child with autism and a teacher and have been on many training courses in autism as both a professional and a teacher and I have NEVER had such interesting and relevant training as this! The videos and the content of this training really struck a chord with me and I found out so many interesting ideas and concepts about autism that I didn’t know. This course is highly recommended for both professionals and parents of children with autism.”
