Abstract
The research conducted was an evaluation study of a training programme for early
intervention facilitators with autistic children. Autistic Disorder is a developmental disorder
affecting sufferers in three primary areas: Communication, social interaction and behaviour
(often characterised by restriction and repetition). Children on the spectrum often
experiences diffrculties with learning and cognition. There are, however, a limited number of
special needs schools available in South Africa. There is a discrepancy between the number
of schools available and the growing number of children diagnosed with ASD each year.
