Overview
A recently updated report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 68 children in the United States have an autism spectrum disorder. Although symptoms and severity can differ among individuals on the spectrum, each person affected by the disorder has impaired communication skills and difficulties initiating or sustaining social interactions.
This unique certificate program, designed for mental health professionals, parents, special education providers and advocates, is the first to offer a full spectrum examination of autism spectrum disorders, along with tips for intervention from birth through adulthood. Participants will learn how to diagnose and establish treatment plans for children and adults on the autism spectrum, and will be introduced to new emerging treatment ideas and practical tips for the ongoing support and treatment of autistic adults.
Certificate requirements: A minimum of 50 hours is required. This includes five core courses and at least three electives. $35 program fee (CE00AS)
