Community of Practice Launch for New and Prospective Practitioners of the Autism Dialogue Approach
Autism Dialogue Approach (ADA) Community of Practice (CoP) is for anyone who has attended some prior training or workshops and is either already including ADA in their practice or intends to.
Communities of practice are formed to promote social learning. Our community of practice will support training attendees to engage regularly with each other in a process of collective learning, in order to develop and improve understanding, through discussion, investigation, analysis and evaluation.
We believe that thinking together, combining participants’ individual experience and knowledge, reflecting on core issues, and working with a clear vision towards our joint goals, will ultimately produce positive results benefitting not only the community of practice, but also those it serves.
“Communities of Practice are groups of people who share a concern or passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.”¹
