691 SLP 691

This specialty certificate will focus on learning strategies for collaborating with special education and other professionals in the education of students on the autism spectrum.  The education of students with autism spectrum disorder is a high priority within school and rehabilitation settings and practitioners with advanced levels of knowledge and experience are in short supply. It should be noted that this certificate will not qualify candidates for state educator certification as they are not completing approved planned programs, nor can these candidates use these courses for purposes of cross-endorsing from SLP to another endorsement (e.g., TESOL [#111], remedial reading [#102] or the comprehensive special education endorsement [#165]. Students pursuing this elective specialization will follow the curriculum sequence below, in addition to the standard Master’s Degree curriculum:
