Course Description:
This course provides an overview of autism traits in young children, a discussion of racial and gender disparities in autism diagnosis, along with strategies for providing strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming services to autistic children and their families. The strategies addressed in this course are not focused on establishing compliance or fixing deficits identified on standardized tests, but rather on helping autistic children learn and develop new skills through meaningful interactions with the important people in their lives.
