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.
