Master of Autism

The University of Wollongong, Australia Master of Autism is an online course designed to allow professionals and parents to guide the development and implementation of social support strategies for the autism spectrum. This grade takes a social justice perspective to support children and adults on the Autism spectrum with a focus on building success in reading, education and early childhood education and school settings, and in the workplace. Students will develop the knowledge and expertise needed to critique and translate recent autism research into areas such as technology, practice communities, leadership, change, and the etiology and biology of autism spectrum disorder. Students will use these skills to explore current trends, develop community-based policies and frameworks, and apply evidence-based learning and recruitment processes that allow and support the strengths of individuals in the autism spectrum.

The program, offered by the Autism Center of Excellence, has a variety of experiences, centered around everything in life. For masters, you will build on this knowledge and learn about critical issues in autism such as mutations, mechanisms of association and environmental regulation. You will gain a full understanding and skills in the research and practice of people with ASD, which will help you work effectively with students with autism and their families at work, at school, at community and in the home`. This grade covers a very important area as determined by the Australian Department of Family, Housing, Social Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Australian Ministry of Education, Labor and Labor Relations, Queensland Department of Education and Training, and the Queensland Department of Community, Children's Safety and Disability Services.
