Article Posted: Wednesday, June 05, 2019

Autism Learning Partnership, a branch of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, is beginning a consultation process with parents/guardians of preschool and school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder.

Autism Learning Partnership seeks to understand the needs of parents in terms of training on autism spectrum disorder in order to be able to develop resources that will specifically address these needs.

A survey is underway to gather important and essential information to identify priorities for the development of future training initiatives. 

The survey is posted on the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development website at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/alpparentsurveyjune2019

Following the survey, in-person focus groups will be held with parents who have demonstrated an interest in becoming more involved in the process.
