This course will provide participants descriptions of disorders that fall under the autism spectrum. Participants will review the latest research in the autism field and legal aspects of having students with autism in the classroom. We will explore fostering social competence in students with autism, developing and implementing IEPs for students with autism, and how to best meet these students’ needs in an inclusive classroom while promoting acceptance from the other classmates. Participants will take with them practical educational and instructional strategies related to research-based inclusive practices to implement within their classroom.
