EDSP 6540 - Evaluation of Autism Programs

3 hours

The purpose of this course is threefold: (1) to identify components of high-quality special education and autism programs; (2) to become familiar with ways in which the effectiveness of special education programs should be evaluated; and (3) to learn how to implement key aspects of the Empowerment Evaluation Model of program evaluation. These three purposes are inseparable and intertwined, and thus, receive equitable, ongoing attention throughout the semester in assigned readings, in-class discussions, and course activities.
