Autism Advocate: Supporting Students with ASD
Autism Advocate: Supporting Students with ASD

Course Description

The goal of this course is to provide Montana K-12 teachers  with the skills necessary to advocate for and effectively teach students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Those skills will be developed through an exploration of the defining components of ASD diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and services, as well as strategies, programs, and available services for addressing the key components of ASD through evidence-based practices. Throughout the course, teachers will also be asked to reflect on their prior experience and apply the concepts and strategies they learn to improve current practices.

In the final project, you will create a comprehensive student plan for an ASD-eligible student. The student plan will demonstrate the participant’s knowledge of the various concepts, practices, and resources explored throughout the course.

Objectives

  • Define Autism Spectrum Disorder by its key components.
