Special Feature – Autism Webinar

Republished by: Maia Chung | June 4, 2021 9:12 am Tweet

The Faculty of Education has four departments. These are Special Education, Early Education, Professional Studies and Physical Education. The Faculty offers 4-year degrees in Primary Education, Early Childhood Education, Special Education and Physical Education. Through the Department of Professional Studies, many of the required courses for teacher preparation programmes are offered, regardless of the area of specialization. This department also administers the Practicum component of the programmes, giving students the opportunity to do field work in schools/institutions mostly in Kingston and St. Catherine, allowing them to practise the teaching strategies, methods and skills to which they are exposed in the more theoretical courses. We encourage a reflective approach to both facilitation and learning and see our students as our number one priority.

Autism

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior. Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life.[2] These signs often develop gradually, though some children with autism reach their developmental milestones at a normal pace and then regress.[3] The diagnostic criteria require that symptoms become apparent in early childhood, typically before age three.
