Session Description

This session will provide an overview of AIM - the Autism Internet Modules. The AIM project will consist of a series of 60 modules by the time the project is complete on topics including assessment and identification, characteristics, evidence-based practices and interventions, transition to adulthood, and employment. Module authors include experts on ASD from across the nation. The AIM platform was designed and built by OCALI staff with components consistent with research on how adults learn. Information is presented at a universal reading level with activities providing support to those with introductory or advanced knowledge on ASD. This session will provide information on how to use AIM for technical assistance and professional development.
