Abstract | Located about 80 miles north of New York City, Anderson Center for Autism has long provided comprehensive educational, vocational, and residential services for children and adults with autism spectrum disorder. Rooted in the use of applied behavior analysis and other evidence-based practices, the nonprofit helps children and adults communicate, advocate for themselves, and acquire independent living skills. The impact extends to all corners of the globe through their unique and visionary program, Anderson Center International (ACI). With a mission of facilitating improvements to the quality of life for individuals with autism throughout the world in a systematic, sustainable, and culturally significant way, ACI has been training professional and student fellows for a decade from countries as far away as Bhutan, the Philippines, India, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Trainees receive a stipend and get step-by-step support through the entire process--from application to arrival, including accommodations, transportation, and health insurance. This article describes one South African participant's experience at the yearlong training program. (ERIC). |
