Seton Hall University (SHU) is meeting the current special education needs of the educational community. If you are a general education teacher with an existing MA in anything other than special education, a special education teacher with an MA in areas other than special education, a school psychologist, a guidance counselor, an occupational therapist, or a speech pathologist, you are faced with teaching or creating behavior plans for students with autism within the general education environment. The SHU certificate in Autism Studies will provide you with the conceptual knowledge, strategies, and assessments that are necessary to serve the special needs of students with autism. An SHU certificate in Autism Studies will be awarded to students who successfully complete a five course, 15-credit program. Graduate students may apply the 15 credits toward an MA degree at Seton Hall University. Graduate students need not be certified teachers to receive the Autism Studies Certificate.
