Non-credit online College course covers teaching students with autism


Published/Last Modified on Tuesday, October 21, 2008 3:47 PM MDT


A course to provide teachers with effective strategies for teaching students with high-functioning autism and Asperger's Syndrome is now available online through the Cochise College Center for Lifelong Learning. Teaching Students with Autism: Strategies for Success will help teachers to better understand autistic students, turn challenges into opportunities, and enjoy the rich perspective they bring to the classroom.


The non-credit course is provided by Education To Go, which leads hundreds of short-term, online classes and certifications on topics ranging from computers and languages to healthcare and teaching. Through well-crafted lessons, expert online instruction, and interaction with fellow students, participants study at their own pace and have the structure and support to complete the course.

New sessions begin each month. Each course lasts six weeks, with two new lessons released weekly. Courses are entirely web-based, with comprehensive lessons, quizzes, and assignments. A professional instructor facilitates every course, pacing learners, answering questions, giving feedback, and facilitating discussions.
