Introductory material will include diagnosis criteria and characteristics of ASDS. Current research on theories of etiology will be explored and analyzed. Screening tools and assessments specific to this population will be examined in detail. Intervention approaches (e.g., LBI/Discrete Trial, ABBLS, precision teaching, teach) will be described and analyzed in terms of basic premises, research base, associated curricula, and evaluative guidelines from the autism society of America and national institute of mental health.
