Early Childhood: ASD Intervention Practices

For most children, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) appears in early childhood and continues through adulthood. Fortunately, advancements in ASD treatment over the past several decades have resulted in improved outcomes for children with ASD. These advancements have allowed more children with ASD to be included in general education classrooms with their typically developing peers. This course is designed to provide an overview of effective treatments for supporting the learning and development of children with ASD. Topics covered include how ASD is diagnosed and identified; educational placements and least restrictive environments; early skills for children with ASD; effective instructional practices; and additional curricular considerations.
