Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 24-1 (May 2023) . - p.27-43 Titre : Autism training for paediatricians, mainstream secondary school teachers and police officers in Malta: needs and incentives Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Melvin ATTARD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.27-43 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Many research studies on practice in the autism field conclude that more people need knowledge and training on autism. This begs the question as to what type of training, the form it should take and how best to identify what the intended audience would find most useful. For those who do not specialise in autism, and who work with a wide range of children or adults, such as the police, paediatricians and mainstream teachers, there are often competing demands which affect their ability and motivation to take up training in autism. The study reported here is a summary of the author's PhD. It sought the views of these three groups living and working in Malta, via an online survey and interviews. It reports their views on the topics they would like covered, the preferred form of delivery and the incentives and barriers to attendance. This paper will be of interest to all who develop or deliver training on autism.
