Autism Spectrum Disorders Certificate

Effective May 04, 2021, the Autism Spectrum Disorders Certificate is suspending admissions, which means that this program of study is not currently accepting new applicants.

This certificate is designed to enable those in the field to increase their knowledge and understanding of students with a disability on the autism spectrum. The courses will engage participants in the practice of assessing, planning and implementing programming for this population. A course sequence has been developed to provide solid practice recommendations for this quickly growing need in the area of special education. Planning for the certificate programs has been based on competencies compiled by a committee of Virginia statewide stakeholders with a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. This is not an endorsement in Virginia.
