The results of the All-Russian monitoring of the number of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation showed that more than 21,000 pedagogical workers who support and teach 23,093 children with ASD included in the Russian education system need advanced training. The key difficulties in personnel training are the lack of requirements for competencies in the field of ASD in professional standards and higher education standards, a small number of implemented master’s programs, insufficient practical orientation of higher education programs, imperfection of the advanced training system in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, restrictions on the possibilities of broadcasting modern effective methods of working with children with RAS government organizations. A key role is played by the activities of the Federal Resource Center for the organization of comprehensive support for children with ASD of Moscow State University of Psychology & Education, to develop a network of regional resource centers, which implements advanced training programs for specialists from all over Russia. The solution to the existing problems is possible by introducing professional competencies in working with children with ASD into the professional standards in force in Russia, and by organizing large-scale training of specialists on the basis of the Federal Resource Center, together with partners-stack holders, within the framework of the main events of the Decade of Childhood.
