About the Graduate Certificate in Autism
The Autism Certificate offers the coursework and practicum relevant to professionals in order to work effectively with children and youth diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. The coursework is designed to develop and enhance effective educational practices to support educators, school districts, and community-based organizations. Practicum hours in each course are designed to help students understand the connections between coursework and the direct work with children and youth with autism.
This 12-credit certificate has been approved by the PA Department of Education as an Autism Endorsement. This credential can be earned by certified professionals who demonstrate knowledge in an area of need, and it is added to existing teaching certifications upon PDE approval.
Arcadia students can apply to the Autism Certificate alone, or they can earn additional credits to complete a master’s degree, with school approval and confirmed admission into the selected program.
This certificate is offered fully online.
