Diagnoses for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are occurring at an epidemic level. These diagnoses present unique challenges for families, psychologists, and schools. Antioch University New England heard the urgent call for ASD expertise and established The Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders to deliver in-depth training in this area.
Educators, counselors, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, case managers, advocates, parents, behavior analysts, behavior specialists, and others will benefit from the specialized training offered by the Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders Training.
We offer the Autism Spectrum Disorders Certificate Program, the Applied Behavior Analysis Certificate Program and various continuing education courses to meet your needs.
