Overview

For current educators and related service professionals working with students with ASD, the online Autism Spectrum Disorders program at University of Kansas is designed to sow empathy, efficiency, and empowerment into your work. Master’s students will advance their understanding of the characteristics of ASD and how it affects development, formal and informal assessment methods, instructional strategies, and effective teaching practices. By learning more about students who require intensive and highly individualized education, and those who need less intensive support and services, we can assure that each person with autism spectrum disorder has the opportunity to reach their full potential, improve their quality of life, and participate in all aspects of citizenship.

Career outcomes

Graduates of the online master’s in autism spectrum disorder program serve as special educators, autism specialists, or behavior specialists at the local or state level. Outside of education, they may choose to utilize their knowledge by working with Applied Behavior Analysis clinics or pursue work as a therapist in specialty areas, which may include occupational therapists, speech language pathologists or therapists, or art therapists.
