Autism Spectrum Disorders Endorsement Certification (ASD)

Meet the Needs of Autistic Students with an Accelerated Online Autism Spectrum Disorders Endorsement

Marywood’s accelerated, online autism spectrum disorder (ASD) endorsement provides educators, school psychologists, counselors, and other professionals with the skills they need to meet the educational needs of students with ASD.

Our 12-credit program, which is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, can be completed in just two semesters. All classes are online, making them convenient for working professionals. Coursework is supplemented by 80 hours of field experience that allow students to work directly with children with ASD.
