Whichever endorsement you choose, you receive highly focused training and graduate equipped to provide quality care and instruction to children of all learning abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Autism Spectrum Disorder<\/strong>: ASD as defined by MARSE, refers to a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and non-verbal communication, social interaction, and engagement in repetitive activities, often detected before age three. This disorder impacts a child\u2019s educational performance and may also involve unusual responses to sensory experiences. Topics covered include identification, diagnosis criteria, characteristics, and the impact of ASD on language, communication, and social interactions. Skills gained involve assessing and developing individualized behavior interventions, using assistive technologies, and modifying instructional strategies. Students learn to adapt general education curricula, manage sensory needs, and collaborate effectively with families and service providers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cognitive Impairment:&nbsp;<\/strong>CI is defined by MARSE as a disability where intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior develop at a rate significantly below average, impacting educational performance. This category includes students with mild, moderate, or severe cognitive impairments. This endorsement covers identification, characteristics, and adaptive needs specific to cognitive impairments, focusing on language, social, and emotional development. Skills developed include assessment of intellectual and adaptive behaviors, tailoring instructional methods, and creating personalized educational and community-based participation plans. The program also emphasizes collaboration with allied service providers and family engagement to support life skills and career transitions.\u200b<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emotional Impairment:&nbsp;<\/strong>According to MARSE, EI refers to behavioral issues primarily affecting a student\u2019s affective domain over an extended period. This includes behaviors such as an inability to build satisfactory relationships, inappropriate behavior under normal circumstances, pervasive mood issues, and physical symptoms associated with personal or school problems. In this area, topics include the identification, classification, and characteristics of emotional impairment, as well as factors like socioeconomic status and family dynamics. Skills gained emphasize creating and evaluating individualized behavior plans, adapting curricula, and integrating affective strategies with academic instruction. Educators also learn to collaborate with mental health professionals and community services to support the student\u2019s overall development and family engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover h-auto mt-5\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-primary-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-container container mb-2 mt-4\">\n\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center mt-3 mb-4\" style=\"padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem\">Academic Advising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage you to connect with your academic advisor when embarking on your undergraduate journey.
