Autism Education Endorsement

The purpose of the post-baccalaureate Autism Education Endorsement program is to prepare general and special education certified teachers to increase their knowledge in the area of teaching students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The program is comprised of 3 online courses (EDSP 4410, EDSP 4420, and EDSP 4430). The three courses focus on the identification of characteristics, classroom and behavioral strategies, and planning for instruction for individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Upon successful completion of the endorsement program, certified teachers will apply for the endorsement add-on to their Georgia teaching certificate.
