COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course summary
The Master of Autism is an online course that has been designed to enable professionals and parents to take a leadership role in multidisciplinary areas to create and implement programs and strategies that support autistic and neurodivergent individuals to realise their goals and achieve in school, employment, home and community settings.
Through this degree you will examine the key principles of diagnosis and assessment, and reflect on how the history of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has led to current beliefs and the development of programs for autistic individuals and their families. You will learn to conduct environmental assessments and implement key strategies to adjust the environment and to build in structure and supports to enhance different learning environments for autistic and neurodivergent individuals.
You will develop the knowledge and expertise necessary to analyse and translate current autism research in order to lead others to establish socially inclusive policies and structures and implement evidence-based learning and employment programs that enable and support and empower individuals on the autism spectrum in a range of sectors and environments. You will also have an opportunity to critically examine latest research and knowledge in relevant areas such as the use of technology, collaborative communities of practice, leadership, transitions, and aetiology and biology of autism spectrum disorder, and will develop the skills necessary to utilise research to evaluate and examine the effectiveness of current practices.
