Onassis Foundation webinar “Coronavirus and Autism Spectrum Disorder” is now available for all

Educators and mental health professionals working with children and teenagers living with ASD often have no access to such therapy/teaching methods, which are scientifically proven forms of intervention. Thanks to the “Coronavirus and Autism Spectrum Disorder” webinar, anyone who is interested can be informed about best practices, and in such a way that specialists are able both to implement these practices, and to pass on this knowledge to parents so that their positive effects are multiplied many times over. The webinar also presents good therapy practices that can be used to help children living with ASD to better understand the pandemic, and to adjust smoothly to its new realities.

The Onassis Foundation will be continuing its work on ASD programs in the firm belief that it is vital to be informed about this disorder a society, so that we are all in a position to better understand the people around us, since certain behaviors and reactions may in fact spring from ASD.
