Autism Spectrum Disorder

Fondation Dora is supporting a new training program targeting both professionals and families interested in autism: a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) focusing on autism.

This MOOC will bring together a number of experts in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and is based on scientifically proven facts in order to answer such questions as: what is autism? how to recognize autism? Can signs of autism be observed in infants?

This autism focused MOOC is comprised of three parts: the first concentrates on diagnosis and is already accessible at the following links:

The second part will be dedicated to the neurobiology and neurosciences involved in autism, and the third part to intervention techniques and approaches.

The program is a joint project of the Pôle Autisme Foundation and the University of Geneva.
