Consejos para profesionales Los profesionales son básicamente personas que trabajan. Esto incluye médicos, enfermeras, policía, personal escolar, empleados de tiendas, agencias estatales y muchos otros. Las personas que trabajan con personas deben saber trabajar con todo tipo de personalidades y habilidades. Es difícil si no saben cómo trabajar con personas que aprenden de manera diferente. No es de ayuda. Estas personas deberían recibir formación. Por ejemplo, si una persona tiene autismo, querría encontrar un médico que comprenda su forma de comunicación u otras necesidades individuales. Es importante enseñar a las personas cómo ayudar mejor a las personas con discapacidades. Esta página contiene algunos enlaces sobre profesionales que necesitan formación o asesoramiento.
