To celebrate the diversity of individuals with autism, the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) encourages you to be active participants within your home and communities! Throughout Autism Acceptance Month, ODP will be holding autism trainings throughout the month of April. You are invited to join these trainings, as they discuss what autism is, how to teach skills, address risk, and apply best practices. These trainings will be recorded and posted to MyODP in May 2024.

The attached documents offer tips for embracing autism in your community and a full listing of ODP autism trainings in April!
