The Anderson Center for Autism is a social services agency dedicated to provide services to children and adults in the autism spectrum.

What is your project and how will it help?

Anderson Center for Autism has developed our own International Fellowship Program. ACA encourages candidates with Bachelor/ Master degree in social service disciplines i.e. social services work, mental health, special education, psychology, and related studies to apply. Based on their qualifications and experience, fellows work in a myriad of direct care roles that provide coverage and support to existing direct care staff, social workers, support or case workers, special educators, etc. They work with children and adults across the autism spectrum. This program places qualified candidates at ACA for 12 months on a J-1 trainee visa. ACA will provide adequate accommodation and facilities in the US for fellows. Fellows have the opportunity to participate in this learn and work program with experienced Anderson professionals in the social services field. Fellows will experience placement with children and adults across the autism spectrum based on their experiences and qualifications. ACA will arrange for monthly stipend which is $900 per month for the fellows, on-campus accommodation, health insurance and other support services. It’s the great opportunity for candidates to experience living and working in U.S.
