Towards a better understanding of autism

About our workshops

The SACCADE Autism Center of Excellence™ offers a variety of workshops for autistic individuals, parents, family members, and professionals to better educate and equip them.

SACCADE™ workshops are unique in that they explain autism from the inside out, including how autism shapes the experiences of an individual living with the condition. The workshops provide insights into what can be perceived from the outside (such as particular behaviors) and guide the type of work that should be done to best accompany an autistic individual throughout their life.

We invite you to review our calendar. You can register for our workshops directly online.

About our e-learning (online) workshops

E-learning is a combination of:

Please note: The RADS, DEFIS, BAL1A, BAL1B, ANX1, and TVA1 workshops are available only as webinars. These more advanced courses require that participants can discuss with their teachers to ensure that they have sufficiently understood the subject matter.

About our educational videos

Our educational video series has been designed for a variety of clienteles, but because we’re working to build a unified vision of autism, we think our educational videos are suited for everyone. Whether you’re a parent, a professional, a grandparent, or an autistic person yourself, you’ll find an educational video to meet your needs.

Our goal with these educational videos is to share our knowledge in order to help autistic people and their wider support systems better understand the autistic condition. So, our team of autism experts has created a number of short videos where you can find lots of examples, explanations, and advice to help you identify and adapt to the needs of autistic individuals.

International, private, or personalized workshops

Whether you’re in Canada or abroad, if the dates or locations of our workshops don’t meet your needs, SACCADE™ can travel to you; this is true for both the workshops from our catalog or workshops tailored specifically to meet your needs. In certain conditions, we also offer private webinars. For more information, please visit the Request training section.
