TOHUM Autism Foundation Educational Institutions are carrying their expertise and scientifically based practices in the field of autism to an international dimension, providing cross-border support to families and educators in need of access to quality education through an Educator Training Protocol.
Within the scope of this model, educators who will provide services in the local language receive theoretical and practical training within our institution through an intensive program on evidence-based practices and curriculum management. In order to maintain the quality of the process, on-site inspections in the respective country and face-to-face training periods at our center in Istanbul are carried out at specific intervals.
