An increasing number of adults affected with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are being served by residential providers across the state of Washington. Individuals with ASD have a unique set of strengths and challenges that providers may often feel they do not have the specialized training to address.
This training series was developed to be both broadly applicable and to allow for individualization to the person(s) being supported.

Sessions will spend considerable time to include practical tips and strategies along with templates for creating supports.
