CAS in autism

Starting October 2016, the University of Geneva, namely its Faculty of Medicine and its Faculty of Psychology & Educational Sciences, as well as the Ecole de travail social (HES-SO), will be offering a Continuing education course in autism: diagnosis, intervention and research. The aim of this two-year course is to further students’ understanding of autism and to create new opportunities for clinical educational & pedagogical care.

This course in intended for health, social or teaching professionals working in the field of autism, and anyone (including parents) involved in caring for people with autism.

The Dora Foundation is supporting this programme in association with the Foundation Pôle Autism. This support will help provide grants to people who cannot afford the full amount of the course fees, and to buy the necessary learning material. Moreover, it will also allow internationally renowned specialists to contribute to the teaching of the course.
