Our main event was a training programme in Vietnam.  We - one speech therapist and one occupational therapist, trained 30 Special needs teachers in British evidence-based practices for children with a diagnosis of autism.  They devised the programme and delivered it over a period of two weeks.  It was very well received and the programme will continue annually. 

We continued to try to establish partnerships with organisations in Turkmenistan and Nepal.
