Project ACCESS offers training, resources, and support services to school district personnel who serve students with autism and related developmental disabilities.
Project ACCESS designs and presents free and low cost autism-specific professional development to pre-K to grade 12 educators at locations throughout Missouri. When possible, we also offer scholarships to our trainings and those provided by third parties.
Project ACCESS offers fact sheets, an online community of practice, information on evidence-based practices and a blog/social media and other tools useful to educators who have students who are on the autism spectrum or who have a related disability.
Project ACCESS provides consulting services through a cadre of trained consultants and through onsite autism coaches. We can also connect you to third party private practice service providers.
Project ACCESS is a collaboration between the Missouri Department of Education and Missouri State University charged with providing training and support to educators who teach students with ASD.
