Treatment approaches, Applications, & Methods for Individuals with Autism (ASD) Part I

This course covers the foundations of treatment and invites critical examination of treatment approaches, applications, and methods intended for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Much of the course focuses on the foundations and principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, but other approaches are also included. Distinctions are made, where appropriate, between approaches and methods for low- and high-functioning individuals (including individuals with Asperger Syndrome). Evidence-based treatments are contrasted with non-empirical treatments to encourage critical thinking.
