Background

The Behaviour Management Systems Autism Awareness Program was developed as a result of requests from educators and agency clients for a program that would assist staff members becoming familiar with the challenges and opportunities encountered when working with children and youth with autism.

Focus

Our program is designed to increase awareness of the issues involved when working with young people on the ASD spectrum. It is not designed to produce autism experts. What the program does provide is increased awareness of concepts such as:
