PI3 - Training sessions for healthcare professionals 
​At the moment, the trainings offered on ASD for healthcare professionals are scattered and not in VET level. This result is  the core of the project implementation as it is trains healthcare professionals on how to treat people with ASD and how to manage them in their everyday practice. After developing the project’s first two outcomes, partners worked on piloting the two outcomes in their countries. The objective of piloting was to test the developed curriculum and toolkit to get the feedback from the direct and indirect target group. The piloting methodology was the same in all countries. The objective of the training is to train healthcare professionals on how to treat people with ASD and how to manage them in their everyday practice.
Here you can find the pilot reports, which describe the experience of piloting the Healthcare4ASD project outcomes in France, Sweden, Greece and Spain.
