EDUC 114 - Children and Youth on the Spectrum

Credits: 3 Total Hours: 45

Classrooms and educational settings for children and youth are dynamic and inclusive communities which require educators to understand the needs of children and youth on the Autism Spectrum. Students in this course will be introduced to both an overview of Autism Spectrum and support strategies by: examining theories, applying strength based supports, understanding lived experiences and cultural perspectives, and identifying community resources. A strong emphasis on social justice and culturally sensitive approaches around disability and inclusion, as it applies to children and youth on the Autism Spectrum, will be applied in this course.
