The first online course on autism starts on September 20, 2021, that’s why the students will have the opportunity to provide professional services and develop their careers with international certificates already in the fall.
The ‘Child with Future’ Foundation is the initiator of the project. It is a course of an American university, which takes place within the International Autism Academy. It consists of 4 modules and has 140 hours of lectures and a 3-month duration program.

The founder of the ‘Child with Future’ Foundation Inna Sergienko says:
– I wanted our specialists to have access to high-quality and prestigious education on autism, but very often the acquisition of high-quality knowledge is hampered by the language barrier. Recently, when I was completing Stephen Shore’s course, even with my high English level, it was very difficult to study. Therefore, we proposed to Adelphi University to create an International Autism Academy and make such education accessible to citizens of all countries where the Russian language is practiced. We start on September 20, and this is just the beginning. We have huge plans, and we are glad that our American partners fully share them.
