Autism Spectrum Disorder: Information & Effective Intervention Strategies

Autism Spectrum Disorder provides information on the characteristics of the disorders, learning styles associated with the disorders, communication weaknesses commonly seen in this context, and various intervention strategies that have proven successful when working with students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The course helps you make sense of why autistic individuals act the way they do and understand what you can do to help them learn behavior that might be beneficial to them. This course also lists resources for educators, related service personnel, and parents who would like more help or information on autism.

All VESi courses are graded Pass (S) / Fail (U). Grading information can be found in your Course Syllabus Addendum. All VESi courses are tablet compatible!  

There is a two week minimum for course completion.
