Understanding Characteristics, Variance, and Best Practices to Support Children and Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder

This course provides a foundation on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the continuum in which this disorder manifests, specifically focusing on children and adolescents. Due to the complexity and co-morbidity often associated with ASD, techniques and strategies to anticipate, analyze, and provide solutions to address complex behaviors, including creating behavior plans, self-monitoring systems, and visual schedules, is an outcome of this course. This course will also provide a lens to understand the myriad of challenges faced by parents and opportunities to support them.

Course Objectives

Identify strategies and techniques to support individuals with autism spectrum disorders in a variety of settings (e.g., school, home, work, social setting).
