The work package will be implemented in 2 parts. 

In the 1st part, a nation wide research will be conducted – an overview of the current state of educating people with autism. Online questionnaires will be developed to gather information regarding the need for additional knowledge on teaching people with autism among teachers and professionals working in the field of education. The questionnaire will be distributed to teachers and professionals along the whole vertical of the educational system (preschool, elementary school, music school, high school, faculty). The gathered information will be analyzed and interpreted and presented in the report. The key findings will be disseminated.
