Puzzle Centre have been using the SCERTS model at our specialist setting, and in our outreach assessment and support service, since 2010.  We are now a national demonstration site for the use of SCERTS.  If you are looking for a practical framework to provide structures that will help a child with autism in your care, either in a home or school setting, this course is for you.
