These free online professional development programs from the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research and Collaboration in Autism (CIRCA) have been developed to provide training for professionals in:

CIRCA’s mission is “to support research and professional capacity-building efforts that will improve the lives of individuals with autism spectrum disorders, their families, and the communities in which they live” [Website].
