Webinar Registration:

Please join the Family Resource Centers Network of California and Patty Schetter, Coordinator of Autism Education Initiatives for the Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities at the UC Davis MIND Institute, for this introduction to the ADEPT (Autism Distance Education Parent Training) Program. This self-paced training is available free of charge online and on CD in both English and Spanish. ADEPT was developed at the request of parents of children with autism spectrum disorders so that they could access training in Evidence Based practices using technology. The use of technology makes accessing training easier for families in remote areas. It also provides an alternative to group based models for families who find it challenging to arrange for the logistics of that typical training format. The ADEPT program also provides a venue for families to share information with others about their child’s needs and the strategies that can help.

In this webinar, Patty will:

 Describe the rationale for developing web based parent training modules
 Describe the process used to develop ADEPT modules
 Provide an overview of Module 1: Strategies for Teaching Functional Skills
 Suggest some Tips and idead for use of these resources
