Hello all,
I was wondering what type of training is available for working with individuals with autism after graduation with my MS. I really want to become involved with this population. I have located information on Module 1 for ABA training. However, I am not sure what else is out there and what best compliments my role as an SLP. Perhaps someone can offer some perspective. Thank you.

I was trained with a strong foundation in ABA. ABA will provide you information in behavior, which definitely has its benefits and it's place. However, when it comes to ASD, I have found that the philosophies by the aforementioned SLPs (and one OT) have completely improved my understanding of the neurology of autism and in turn changed my attitude towards how I interact with these students. After working with students with ASD all along the spectrum (almost exclusively) for about a decade, that is what I suggest.
