SPND 497 Practicum: Severe Disabilities/Autism II

This course is part of the Autism Specialization program. This course involves students continuing to work with learners with intensive special needs/autism in their full time severe practicum placement under the mentorship of a Program Supervisor. Students study classroom teaching techniques and procedures and work with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks to write well-structured lesson plans incorporating all Candidate Assessment of Performance elements. Students will continue to participate in their internship in a public school inclusive classroom with learners with special needs and English Language Learners. Students focus on their adjustments to practice and reflective practice as they strengthen their ability to write and implement well-structured lessons in their severe practicum placement and their Inclusion Internship placement.
