Shao Lei said that he was very pleased to see many students choose this course because of the large number of autistic people, high demand of professional rehabilitation services and the lack of talent. He hoped that the students could get good results, apply what they learn to practical use, become professional talents rooted in the frontline, and contribute to the promotion of autism rehabilitation and social equity and inclusion. He pointed out that students could easily access to Rain Classroom to start the course, which created an innovative teaching method featuring actual time, interaction, remote, and decentralization. The method was very significant to improve the quality of online education and benefit students during the coronavirus outbreak.
