This is a free course for professionals, families and others interested in learning about autism in young children. It includes dozens of videos of toddlers with autism and their families.  Early detection, family perspectives, and the importance of early intervention and routines based supports are highlighted.  Print materials are available to support application of learning.

This is a self-paced course developed by Florida State University as part of a network of courses and resources in the Autism Navigator.  

You can review the entire course without enrolling here on the EITA Portal. However, to receive a Certificate of Completion for 3 clock hours, you must finish the About Autism in Toddlers course and also successfully complete the required quiz and reflection activity for this course. You may use this Certificate of Completion toward Early Intervention Infant/Toddler training hours or for your professional development portfolio.

If you are interested in acquiring 3 PQAS hours for completing the course, you must first register for the About Autism in Toddlers course on the PD registry. You will be instructed to return to this site to complete your registration and move into the course activities.

Please keep in mind that regardless of how you take the course, you will be directed to the Autism Navigator webpage to access the course.
