Offered at more than twenty Penn State locations
There are more than 8,000 students with autism or pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) in Pennsylvania schools, and the numbers are increasing. The inclusion of autistic children in typical-needs classrooms can present a challenge, yet many of these students show great promise, and working with them can be a rewarding experience.
In recognition of National Autism Awareness Month, Students with Autism in Inclusive Settings is offered at more than twenty Penn State locations starting in April. The course recommends materials, methods, and classroom modifications that will help you make a positive impact on the autistic students in your inclusive-classroom setting.
Penn State has received several national awards for our autism programs, including Children and Autism: Time is Brain, a thirty-minute documentary that is featured in Students with Autism in Inclusive Settings. For the past nine years Penn State has hosted the National Autism Conference (the largest autism conference in the nation, with more than 2,700 attendees in 2006).
Who Should Attend: While the focus of this course is for general educators, others who participate in the education, counseling, or therapy of students with autism/PDD will also benefit from its content.
