Workshops for parents, professionals, students, and other individuals interested
in obtaining information and training in the areas of speech, language, and
social-communication related to autism and Asperger's disorder.
These services are open in structure in order to meet the requests of
professionals in the school, private, or clinical settings. Consultations may
include, but are not limited to:
- meetings with school personnel or other professionals related to communication programming and implementation
- program observations in the school or clinical environment
- training in specific communication approaches related to autism and Asperger's disorder
- professional group workshops and in-service training
- Clinical Supervisions and Internships
In coordination with local university programs, the PACT Institute provides
opportunities to students for clinical observations, training, and practicum
experiences. Students are also encouraged to contact the PACT Institute
independently, if interested in participating in these training opportunities.
The PACT Institute provides opportunities for recent graduates of accredited communication disorders programs to fulfill requirements for their Clinical Fellowship
Year (CFY), whether interested in specializing in pediatric communication disorders
for children with autism spectrum disorders, or in gaining extensive autism experience
during their first year in the profession of speech-language pathology.
