Autism Internet Modules

The Autism Internet Modules (AIM) project was designed by Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence (OCALI) “to provide comprehensive information to assist those working and living with individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as they work to increase their knowledge and skill.” Best of all, modules are available at NO COST to any computer or digital telephone user. Featured below are just three of the available modules.
