Our mission
The Global Autism Project believes that all children have the right to learn and envisions a world where all children with autism are able to reach their potential no matter where they live. Our focus is on building local capacity to serve individuals with autism and to address the lack of resources and understanding that exists in many under-served communities worldwide.
What we do
To fulfill its mission, the Global Autism Project has three key programs:
1. International Partnerships: We believe in embracing the talent and resources of the communities we serve by furnishing them with tools that engender self-reliance, sustainable development, and continued innovation. Therefore, our model is to partner with autism centers established by local individuals around the world. We currently have partnerships in Kenya, India, Indonesia, and the Dominican Republic. We have previously also worked in Ghana and Peru. Through these partnerships we train local professionals in evidence-based best practices and help them run workshops for family and community education around autism. These trainings happen on the ground 2-3 times a year as well as weekly through distance training.
2. SkillCorps: Our SkillCorps program allows professionals who have experience working with kids with autism to travel with us to visit our partners' sites and participate in hands-on training. We run 2-3 trips per partner site per year. While benefiting our partners, this also provides an invaluable experience for the professionals who travel with us, giving them the opportunity to understand the how cultural contexts affect teaching methods and to broaden their own understanding of the field.
3. Professional Development: We help aspiring BCBA's (Board Certified Behavior Analysts) around the world pass the exam and get certified. BCBA's are trained in evidence-based best practices for working with children with autism. We are currently working to partner with universities in other countries to provide classes for this.
