The Autism Teaching Institute (ATI) is an exciting cutting edge initiative emanating from Western Autistic School (WAS) which has broken new ground in the fields of School Education, Teacher Training provision and Vocational Training in Australia. The ATI is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) that exists as an unincorporated entity under the wider umbrella of WAS. The ATI was created to deliver specialist teacher training in the area of students with ASD with the brief to create systemic change. This occurred in response to a perceived need for specifically trained professionals in this area of great need.
