The NSCDA has partnered with Autism Nova Scotia to deliver an extensive training program to provide a richer understanding of autism and to better support the connection among clients, autism and employers. This training will clarify and define characteristics of the Autism Spectrum Disorder and its terminology; develop and enhance an understanding of the barriers faced; explain how to recognize, accommodate and provide support to clients with autism; increase an awareness of how to accommodate for diverse learners and the practical  application of the training.
