We offer an online on-demand neurodiversity course, "Spotlight on Autistic Minds" modestly priced at $97 for over 4 hours of videos with questions to reinforce the learning and a certificate of completion. All subscription funds go to the nonprofit working to build an autism informed healthy aging neighborhood community.
"Spotlight on Autistic Minds" is a mind expanding course that leads people through the experiences of neurodiverse people. This is just as appropriate for family members with a new diagnosis as it is for experienced teachers and therapists who have worked with these special people throughout their career. The longest videos are about 20 minutes and some are less than ten minutes. They are only long enough to make the point. There are 21 videos that are grouped by: Sensory sensitivities, Learning Styles, Communication, Routines and their functions and "Big Picture" categories. This is also suitable for employers and human resource specialists to help them understand the value and unique qualities of supports and how they help people to succeed. Each video is followed by 2 or three questions that reinforce the point of the video. We intend to provide longterm access to those who finish the course within 60 days so that they can review specific areas as needed to internalize these concepts. CTLS status is pending
