IDEA Eligibilities: Autism Spectrum Disorder

Overview

This course is part of our course series on some of the more common categories through which students can be eligible for special education services. In this course, you will build an understanding of how school teams identify students who may have autism, common strengths and needs that students with autism experience, and how to support students with autism. This course is intended for general education teachers and special education teachers who may work with students with autism.
