They are SO stellar!

Today it was a back to work at the Centre...We got an early start trying to set up the BI Capture and preparing for the second training on the Picture Exchange Communication System...The support team has been incredible..AACT and the Global Autism Project are really working together to get this BI Capture software up and running. The staff did very well with what they have done so far, so we took the next step by showing them how to take data on this system. Everyone was enthusiastic about a way to track progress and was eager to practice data collection. The participation was wonderful...More of the staff were able to practice and they were all excited to see the system in action. After a quick review of discrete trials it was back to the classroom for some assistance with behavior management. This incredibly dedicated staff are always ready to help these children and we can see how our support has been helpful to them. What an honor to work with these amazing people. Medasi pa, AACT! ("Thank you very much" in Twi).



After the morning of work at the Centre, we were inteviewed for our new video describing our work with the project. This video is a great tool to raise awareness of childen with autism in other parts of the world. Look for it on our website in the coming months!

And now it's another evening at good ol' Busy Internet creating materials, and, of course, blogging.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow will be our last full day at the Centre. It should be a full one, starting off with data share with Mr. Mawusi in the morning and finishing up who knows when!
