This course is the third in a series of three virtual courses for educators working towards the Autism Spectrum Disorder Add-On Endorsement.
ESE certification is required to join this course. You will need to complete Part 1 (Nature, Needs, Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders with Field Experience) to complete Parts 2 and 3.
Additionally, you will be required to work with students on differing ends of the spectrum. If you are a self-contained teacher, you will need to work with students in inclusion. Please make sure to reach out to coworkers or schools in your community that will allow you to work with their students.
Participants will be able to describe and analyze communication needs, design strategies to facilitate intervention, and demonstrate an understanding of various communication interventions for students with Autism Spectrum Disorders, including AAC/AT. Participants will understand the importance of transition planning for students with ASD.
