ARC’s team of practitioner-trainers and autism consultants seeks to equip professionals, caregivers, employer partners and the wider community with knowledge, skills and tools.

Training was conducted online as the COVID pandemic entered the second year.
A total of 170 were trained and successfully completed the Certificate in Autism course.
Newly curated workshops and webinars by experienced global practitioners were offered to empower professionals and parents/caregivers in the community. These were in the areas of autism and females, as well as specific strategies for social-communication and engagement and sensory behaviour.
New courses for individuals on the autism spectrum were offered during the period as part of strategic focus to encourage lifelong learning. Five core areas of learning have been identified in independent living, career, leadership, wellness and information and communications technology.
