Project ACCESS, a project funded by the Division of Special Education,
provides autism resource information to public schools in the form of
on-site and telephone consultations, as well as support via internet.
In addition, Project ACCESS designs autism specific professional development
opportunities and trains professional credentialed individuals to present
these courses through Missouri's Regional Professional Development Centers
(RPDCs). These trainings are offered to Missouri school district staff and
educators who work with youngsters ages 0-21 years, who experience Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related disabilities. On-site child specific
consultations can be arranged through the use of Missouri Autism Consultants
(MACs) and district staff can be trained to be in-district autism
consultants.

ACCESS professional training opportunities, email Joanie Armstrong at
