- Autism

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to Autism, one of thirteen special education eligibility categories defined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act. Participants will gain an understanding about the IDEIA definition of autism, how students are determined eligible for supports and services under this categorical label, and, in general, what those supports and services can look like in practice. The information will be shared from a strengths-based non-medicalized disability studies stance.
