Course Description

This course examines in detail the characteristics associated with Autism and the implications for teaching and learning. Candidates will be learning within a professional network of educators through collaborative dialogue, inquiry-based activities and reflective practice. Candidates will explore a range of evidence-based practices for student success and the creation of a safe and positive learning environment that reflects care, diversity, and equity.

Most Western AQ courses are offered in a combined format, where candidates across Schedule A (Divisional Qualifications-ABQ), Schedule D (3-part AQ), or Schedule E (Honour Specialist AQ), may be combined. As candidates participate in course discussions and collaborative inquiries they work towards achievement of their course-specific expectations.

Course normally offered in Summer and Winter sessions.
