*Autism 101: Top 10 Pieces to the Puzzle* This training has been developed and brought to you through the Texas Statewide Leadership for Autism. The goal of this training is to provide information on basic components of autism spectrum disorders. This is the first part of a series that will eventually include:
  • Asperger's Syndrome 101,
  • Classroom Organization,
  • Behavior Issues,
  • Social Issues and
  • Communication Issues.

These six modules will be offered as online training and will also be offered in the future as a face-to-face training Education Service Center, Region 3. These modules are the result of a project funded by the Texas Education Agency in collaboration with the system of twenty Education Service Centers that are geographically distributed across Texas.
