EDS 845 - Autism Spectrum Disorders: Interventions in the Classroom and Home

3 Credit(s) This course looks at interventions used with individuals with autism. Students will critically analyze diagnostic assessments specific to ASD. Students will understand and use appropriate culturally-relevant formative and summative assessments to inform instruction and monitor individual student progress. Students will use peer-reviewed research to identify best practices for addressing environmental, academic, transition and employment needs. All of this knowledge will be applied as students create an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that showcases best practices associated with ASD. Field hour required; 40 field-hours are needed for endorsement. Three lecture hours per week.
