This course focuses on building collaborative services for students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This includes developing an understanding of the roles of other disciplines and professionals involved in the education of students with ASD. Students will develop skills to facilitate coordination and collaboration of these professionals working with students within and outside of the school setting, such as related service providers (e.g., speech language pathologists, occupational therapist, etc.) and medical professionals. The course will also highlight the importance of successful partnership with parents and caregivers to meet the unique needs of students with ASD in a culturally and linguistically sensitive manner.
