The two-years Erasmus+ project IPA 2 starting in 2019 aims at decreasing difficulties that students on the autism spectrum face, specifically during the transition from primary to secondary school, to tackle early school leaving and disadvantage.
Towards a specialised training model for professionals
The IPA+ project, running from September 2016 to December 2018 and funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus + Programme, focuses on developing a basic training of reference point for all professionals working with people with autism independently of their area of knowledge. The project responds to the existing gaps in training on autism within the target countries, the demands of society in general, and the requirements of this group of population and their families.
The training to be developed and tested under IPA+ will have a lifelong perspective, following an evidence-centred approach, and the contents will be based on scientific advances and outputs. The project brings together academics, multidisciplinary professionals, parents and self-advocates from various autism organisations across Europe. Those involved come from various backgrounds – both national and cultural – and have a wide set of skills.
