CAPTAIN – Autism Internet Modules

California Autism Professional Training and Information Network (CAPTAIN) (http://www.captain.ca.gov/) is a cross agency collaboration created for the purpose of providing training opportunities and information on Evidence Based Practices (EBPs) for individuals on the Autism Spectrum across the state of California. The CAPTAIN website contains a series of Training Modules for all interested parties. There is no fee and individuals that complete the trainings can receive a certificate that can be used for Continuing Education Credits. We strongly encourage anyone interested in serving our consumers on the Autism Spectrum to access this link: http://www.autisminternetmodules.org/
