Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Provides students with an in-depth exposure to autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Beginning with etiological theories, various biological, behavioral, and cognitive paradigms are examined in an effort to help students conceptualize the developmental links between brain and behavior. Epidemiology, diagnostic and treatment strategies, and finally issues of public policy are then reviewed in detail. All students must also engage in a supervised experiential lab practicum at the NYU Child Study Center's Asperger Institute or an affiliated school where they work directly with children and adolescents with ASDs for three hours each week. Primary sources for the course include scientific papers, individual accounts by people living with ASDs, and reviews of current popular media and websites.
