Rather, our goal is to provide resources to support those with autism within their homes, schools and communities and enable learning, communication, and meaningful relationships through day-to-day engagement with those around them.<\/p>\n<p>The Hussman Institute for Autism is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated in Maryland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links &amp; information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hussmanautism.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf\/PresumeCompetence_HussmanInstitute.pdf\">Autism 1.0: Presume Competence<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0support guide (link).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scaffolds.org\/\"><strong>www.scaffolds.org<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 Free online training modules for school-based professionals who support students with disabilities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>@hussmanautism<\/strong> ; Follow on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Goal: Advance equity in access to opportunity and success.
