Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 9-1 (May 2008) . - p.9-16 Titre : Supporting and caring for adults with ASD: developing job-specific ASD training Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Catherine PARKER, Auteur ; Marion JONES, Auteur ; David WHEATCROFT, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.9-16 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The general awareness, as well as the prevalence, of autism has increased in recent years. This, however, has not been reflected in the development of services that aim to meet the often complex needs of individuals, especially adults, with autism spectrum disorders. One area of need identified in many texts is for the development of well-researched training programmes for professionals and staff working with individuals with autism. Despite these recommendations, there remains a scarcity of previous studies investigating training programmes. This Strategic Health Authority-funded project aimed to develop tried and tested job-specific autism training for professionals working in adult learning disability services. The training was developed from a detailed training needs analysis. Two pilot training sessions were held and subsequent evaluation showed that a positive impact on the knowledge and practice of the participants had occurred as a result of the training.
