Autism Spectrum Disorder Resources

The OTAC Autism Sup­ports Pro­gram con­cen­trates on essen­tial ingre­di­ents – knowl­edge, skills, inde­pen­dence, and com­mu­nity con­nec­tions -   that help to create a self-directed life for people with ASD.  OTAC Behavior Specialists teach, train, and provide tech­ni­cal assis­tance to fam­i­lies, provider organizations/agencies in a vari­ety of pos­i­tive, proactive evidence-based strate­gies, that help individuals under­stand their envi­ron­ment and become more inde­pen­dent in daily life. We empha­size support strate­gies tai­lored to the unique needs and strengths of the per­son. The strategies we use are based on the prin­ci­ples of Pos­i­tive Behav­ior Support and a person centered approach.

OTAC’s Autism trainings cover the full spectrum. Our trainings are tailored to meet the needs of the audience. Check out our Autism Awareness trainings.
