Disorders This minimum of 100 hour supervised field experience I is conducted in accordance with Massachusetts Autism Endorsement Guideline. It provides autism endorsement candidates with opportunities to practice and gain first-hand experiences in evidence-based practices for exceptional learners with autism spectrum disorders. In coordination with field placement, weekly seminars are held during which autism endorsement candidates will learn about and discuss the service delivery models, evidence-based practices in special education, consultation, and individual issues related to field placements. The field experience and weekly seminars will give autism endorsement candidates an opportunity to systematically integrate theory and practice, especially focusing on the content covered in SED/ASD 600 and PSY/SED 568 or ABA 600 in all facets of the role of the teacher of students with autism spectrum disorders.
