You\u2019ll learn how to plan, implement, and evaluate instruction for autistic students and students who have emotional\/behavioral disorders.\u00a0You will also learn to use data to inform decision-making in your classroom, as well as use existing data and current research to guide your practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program has two options: One that leads to the autism endorsement offered by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) (26 credits), and one that does not lead to the Autism Endorsement (18 credits).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Dates &amp; Deadlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring &amp; Fall 2024 <\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Open<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Dec 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Deadline<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Jan 15, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Deadline to Receive Priority Scholarship Consideration<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 1, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Closes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-primary-background-color has-background person-spotlight\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Featured Faculty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Special Education program faculty are guided in their research, policy, and practice by a shared commitment to ensuring educational equity and opportunity for all students with disabilities and their families.
