• If you are a professional working with people on the autism spectrum, this half-day conference will give you the opportunity to learn more about available training on autism online, independently of your area of knowledge.

• This event, organised by Autism-Europe, will share the results of the work undertaken by of professionals from Spain, Serbia, Portugal and Belgium in the framework of the Erasmus+ project IPA+, as well as an expert trainer from the UK.

• Simultaneous translation into English and French will be provided.

The IPA+ Training, developed in collaboration with academics, multidisciplinary professionals, parents and self-advocates, aims at addressing the existing gaps in training on autism, taking into account the needs of autistic people and their families, and the demands of society in general.

Ackowledging the diversity of people on the autism spectrum, as well as the existing approaches and intervention models in autism offered by support services, IPA+ proposes a new educational strategy to qualify a wide range of professionals to support autistic people in different contexts and spheres of life.

It is hoped that participating in the modules will help professionals to grow in confidence, assisting them in making and implementing self-help strategies that will go some way toward meeting the needs of the autistic people they work with and easing strain associated with their professional activity.
