SED 601 Autism Spectrum Disorders

Over the course of four days, participants will develop an understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), many of whom are overwhelmed, confused, and lacking comprehension of the social and behavioral expectations that exist in their environments. The focus of the course will be on responding with an emphatic posture to the challenges experienced by individuals with ASD, with interventions that prevent and teach alternatives. Hands-on materials development will be emphasized during each session. Participants wishing to earn a graduate credit may submit a researched-based case study of a student or complete a research paper.
