Certifications of Completion will be provided to all registrants successfully completing the three hour course. There is a $45.00 cost per person.
Who should attend the three-hour mandatory training?
In response to the growing number of children being diagnosed with autism, New York State now requires that all persons applying for a teaching certificate or license as a special education teacher or as a school administrator who works in special education, complete course work or training in the needs of children with autism. Special education teachers include those with certification titles in special education, students with disabilities, teaching students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, teaching students who are blind or visually impaired, and teaching students with speech and language disabilities.
School administrators and supervisors assigned on or after September 2, 2009 to serve as special education administrators must complete training in the needs of autistic children as soon as practicable after their assignment. Certified school administrators or supervisors assigned to serve as special education administrators prior to September 2, 2009 are required to have enhanced training in the needs of children with autism by such date.
