There is a tremendous need for well educated, highly trained autism professionals both locally and nationally. CCCD is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with autism directly by providing a variety of educational and other services, as well as by increasing and enhancing professional resources beyond our own organization.

CCCD participates in a variety of professional training initiatives to help close the gap between the number of people with autism and the availability of professionals trained to work specifically with the population. Through our Community Education Initiative, CCCD assists in the development of new schools and services, contributes to the growing body of research and literature focused on evidence-based interventions, and hosts internships in applied behavioral analysis and special education. Customized internship opportunities are provided in either private school location, the Outreach Program, diagnostic services at the Institute of Educational Planning, or any of the other CCCD extra-curricular or respite programs.
