Courses for professionals

Your further training with the APW course system

We are a network of professionals and relatives across Europe dedicated to supporting people with disorders of perception. Some of our professionals have also completed teacher training and are therefore authorized to lead APW-recognized courses. Decades of combining research, theory, and practice have shaped this model into a practical and effective approach for those affected. It is applied in a variety of settings, such as neurological centers, remedial and special education schools, outpatient occupational and speech therapy, as well as residential care, day programs, and supported employment.

Further training

The APW supervises the APW-approved courses on the Affolter Model®. Courses offered at various venues can be found in the course overview.
