Effective Support for Students with Autism: Course-Track Options for Paraprofessionals

This guide provides multiple, easy to follow professional development course-tracks for paraprofessionals working with students with autism. Paraprofessionals who complete these courses will be equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively support students with autism through evidence-based practices and strategies, as well as earn certificates of completion that provide evidence of completed training.

A participant may choose to take all courses in sequence in each course-track, take courses in any order, or decide to take a single course. A variety of courses are outlined in this guide, from those that can be completed quickly (30 minutes or less) to longer courses that can be completed over multiple sessions. The course-tracks also include links to related resources
such as videos, websites, and brief documents.
