Understanding and support for Autism (PSY3ASD)
This Australia-first undergraduate subject has been running every second year since 2013, now every year, and is open to all enrolled La Trobe students. The subject uses a developmental psychopathology approach to provide a broad perspective on Autism. Several OTARC researchers teach into this subject, which is coordinated by Dr Melissa Gilbert.
