Integrative Parents’ Autism Training (IPAT)

We aim to increase awareness about the role and the importance of the parental training in the global management of the needs of autistic peo-ple, to increase accessibility to effective training, to motivate parents to use a valid self -training approach at different stages of life, in order to advocate for the rights and social inclusion of autistic individuals and eliminating stigma .

Parental training is known to provide knowledge about the autism spec-trum disorders, to enhance parental skills, to decrease parental stress and improve the self-perceived quality of life.
