Current programs for E-Learning

E-Learning Program in South Africa

Els for Autism has established its first e-learning program at the Ernie Els Centre for Autism in South Africa. The Centre is totally focused on e-learning and provides FREE access to the well researched, highly effective web-based learning and development program in conjunction with one-on-one guidance from a trained professional.   A new study concludes that less than 11% of children with autism in South Africa are currently receiving any beneficial intervention strategies. 

 The software treatment program is licensed from US based RETHINK AUTISM. It is designed for parents and professionals and offers a comprehensive curriculum, individualized assessment tools, staff and parent training modules, data tracking/progress reporting and ongoing professional support options.

The child’s strengths, weaknesses’ and developmental stages are entered into the RETHINK program that personalizes an intervention strategy for the child. The attending educator will then ensure that the parent fully understands the intervention strategy he/she must follow with their child until their next session in the Els Learning Centre.

When the parent returns for the next session, the program will provide a questionnaire to establish the improvement in the child’s skills, whether the child can move on to the next stage of the required developmental path, or if the expected results have not been obtained in the interim period, an alternative approach is provided.
