The training is very intensive and includes daily lectures, and hands-on experiences with students with autism in a model classroom. Close guidance and feedback from 5 trainers will be provided throughout. While the focus group is students with autism, the strategies learned by teachers are applicable to other students with other developmental disabilities as well.

College credit at a separate reduced cost for the summer training will be available. Information will be given at the training.
