Autism Spectrum DisordersEndorsement Certification (ASD)
Meet the Needs of Autistic Students with an Accelerated Online Autism Spectrum Disorders Endorsement
Marywood’s accelerated, online autism spectrum disorder (ASD) endorsement provides educators, school psychologists, counselors, and other professionals with the skills they need to meet the educational needs of students with ASD.
Our 12-credit program, which is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, can be completed in just two semesters. All classes are online, making them convenient for working professionals. Coursework is supplemented by 80 hours of field experience that allow students to work directly with children with ASD. If you are a teacher or school administrator, you can typically complete your field work within your own school district.

Marywood has truly changed my life.
I came in with little direction and little confidence and by getting involved with the Office of Student Engagement and the Cross Country and Track and Field teams, I was really able to find my purpose and grow into an extremely confident and capable individual. Marywood allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, from Student Government Association to Chamber Singers to even serving as Summer Orientation Co-Chair, and I couldn’t be more grateful!
