UNB opens autism intervention training program to the public
The University of New Brunswick's College of Extended Learning is now offering its award-winning, evidence-based Autism Support Training program to the public. 
The renowned program, designed to equip people with the tools they need to support individuals with autism, was developed for the New Brunswick Department of Education. Previously, the program was available only to teachers, teacher assistants, clinical supervisors and autism support workers connected to the department.
Now, the program is available to physicians, parents, daycare workers and anyone else who would like to learn more about working with individuals living with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The College of Extended Learning has made it a priority to expand all of its offerings related to behavioural intervention training to make those essential training programs available to the public.
