Overview

The Lindenwood University Master of Arts in Early Intervention in Autism and Sensory Impairments program has nation-wide experts with clinical therapeutic experience to teach their specialty area and to offer the latest evidence-based practices for early diagnosis.

The need for specialized teacher training in early interventions is evidenced through the increasing prevalence of children born prematurely with low birth weights with co-occurrence of one or more developmental disabilities.

Many of our candidates have backgrounds in non-profit agencies, child development, psychology, social work, communication disorders, and special education. Graduates of our program include pre-grade 8 teachers, paraprofessionals, parents, speech and language therapists, and related services professionals, certified VI teachers who want to learn more about autism and sensory impairments, sign language professionals with a BA degree, and early childhood professionals. As MO DESE does not require teacher certification to work in the early interventions field, teacher certification is not included nor required for this program.

Career

Our program includes opportunities for observations with Early Intervention practitioners in the field through home-visits and models the shared philosophy of “holistic” therapies, family-centered practices, and the opportunity to work with families on home visits through a research study.
