Welcome.
This is a virtual site of resources on
autism for other universities, area parents and teachers. Please
feel free to visit this site frequently, offer suggestions, and
donate additional resources.
Nationally,
autism is one of the fastest growing developmental disabilities.
The College of Graduate and
Professional Studies felt the need to better prepare teachers to
teach students with autism. In an attempt to meet local needs,
the University of Mary Washington offers a certificate program
for teachers and other professional who work with students with
autism.
The certificate in Teaching Students with Autism is
unlike any other in VA, offering a combination of assistive
technology with characteristics and methods courses. The program
also includes a Board Certified Associate Behavior Analyst
(BCABA) option that allows individual to complete an additional
three graduate courses necessary to take the BCABA exam.
