Advanced Certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders
We are excited to announce a collaboration between Dr. Stephen Shore, Professor of Special Education at Adelphi University and Dr. Rachelle Sheely at RDI Connect in offering an Advanced Certificate in Autism Spectrum studies to the RDI Community.
The 12-credit Graduate Certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders (non-teacher certification) is designed for individuals from allied professions such as school psychology, social work, and health fields, as well as classroom teachers who are not special education certified. A Bachelor’s degree is required for admission. The certificate is comprised of four courses.
Disclaimer: The purpose of this program is to provide knowledge about autism spectrum disorders. In no way does completion of the courses provide authority to operate as a licensed professional unless doing so within the scope of a professionally licensed practice.
