Autism Resources

As awareness of autism increases, Ohio has started to look for new solutions to:

1. increase the number of trained service providers to meet growing demand.
2. provide more consistent, broad-based community support for parents and families.

Powered by OCALI, ASD Strategies in Action is a free, online training collaborative effort to put information into the hands of more people to make life better for the people, parents, and families we serve together.

The program was funded under the leadership of the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Education and the Governor’s Office of Health Transformation.

Families and providers are invited to visit www.autismcertificationcenter.org  for more information, and to access ASD Strategies in Action
