Along with the everyday work that IRODA does with children with autism and their families we are always looking for opportunities to train others. Over the last few years IRODA has been working towards having input into University courses. Previously doctors and teachers have graduated from University with no knowledge of autism and how it may impact on children that they see or teach.
It has been an exciting step forward for IRODA staff to recently be invited to give lectures on autism to teaching and medical students. The hope is that this information will later be incorporated into University courses and that future students will graduate with knowledge and skills to work effectively with people with autism.
As with much of IRODA's work time and resources are required for building relationships with decision makers in areas such as the University sector. We greatly appreciate your on-going support that allows the IRODA staff to invest in opportunities such as the work with the University, that we hope in time will lead to a generation of skilled, supportive and understanding professionals equipped to make a difference in the lives of people with autism in Tajikistan.
