The 90-minute training includes three modules:
- Module 1: Autism
- Module 2: Sexual assault and autism
- Module 3: Counseling sexual assault survivors who are autistic
Together, these modules are designed to provide learners with:
- foundational knowledge about autism,
- understanding of the sexual assault prevention and response barriers that exist for disabled students on campus,
- potential solutions to some of those, and
- strategies and tools for providing more responsive and accessible counseling services to autistic survivors of sexual assault on campus.
Product Details:
- This project was designed collaboratively by a team that included six autistic people with relevant experience, two autism researchers, one sexual violence prevention expert, and a team of online education experts.
