Dr. Martha Collins, Amanda Martinage, Amanda Cannarella, Deborah Arin and Gwen Bertrand traveled to Tanzania this summer for 3 weeks with OMPACO to support special education teachers working with children with autism.  For the first 2 weeks the team worked in Dar es Salaam completing site visits to 5 special education classrooms delivering educational materials (including communication devices, assistive technology, school supplies, academic and sensorimotor materials) that were generously donated from the Mercy Centre School facilitated by Susan LaSante.  Teachers and assistants were trained regarding the purpose and how to use materials. After the site visits, the OMPACO team led a teacher question and problem solving session to review lecture material that had been presented in prior years and to promote collaboration among the various special education classroom teachers.  The OMPACO team then met with the National Association for People with Autism – Tanzania (NAPA-T) to consult with the members and support the mission of the organization.  During the last week, the OMPACO team traveled to Arusha where they completed a 4 day training for 35 special education teachers that included, but was not limited to, an overview of Autism, teaching, behavioral, and communication strategies as well as special education advocacy.  Overall, the site visits, lectures and training models were well received by teachers and highly supported by the Ministry of Education.  Plans for further trainings were discussed and future collaboration is anticipated.
