Description

Since 2015, 50 staff from Russian organizations serving children with disabilities have participated as international LEND trainees to learn about ASD, including evidence-based strategies, family-centered care, and peer-mediated support. This presentation will describe the Summer of Purpose Program, its impact on beliefs, expectations and attitudes in Russia regarding ASD, and growth of 12 new innovative programs that have positively changed the service delivery model for those with ASD in Russia.
