Course Description:
This course provides a foundation on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the continuum in which this disorder manifests. Due to the complexity and co-morbidity often associate 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. Other tools, such as using peer supports, will be discussed and their benefits for individuals with ASD and supporting peers. This course will also provide a lens to understand the myriad of challenges faced by parents and opportunities to support them, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic as school-based services are now no longer offered in person.
