FOUNDATION EBS SCHOOL AGE

During the elementary and middle school years, students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are developing skills in many areas that will impact their futures. This course presents evidence-based strategies for the professionals who work with them through videos that have been filmed in school, home, and community environments. It starts with an introductory module, Many Faces of Autism, which addresses the characteristics of ASD, dispels common misconceptions through the experiences and perspectives of people on the autism spectrum, and provides an overview of five simple strategies that can be used by anyone. Learners then proceed through the School Age course and complete nine modules which focus on a range of social-communication and behavioral intervention practices and strategies through real world videos and interviews with experts, practitioners, individuals with ASD, and their families. 

You will register for the course using this Ashland University system and by creating an account on the Autism Certification Center site (www.autismcertificationcenter.org). You will begin the coursework by completing the Many Faces of Autism and then continuing on to the Toddler and Preschool Age course. Both must be completed to receive the 1.00 semester hours of credit. For more information, please contact carly_mcvey@ocali.org.
