Our Introduction to ASD course is usually only open to employees of BC Public, Independent, and First Nations Schools (K-12). However, this particular session is open to everyone (you are not required to be a BC School employee). The course fee for this session is higher than our other courses because POPARD does not receive funding to train non-school staff.
