Become a Certified Autism Specialist
Demonstrate that you are committed to providing a high standard of care for individuals with Autism.
With 1:68 children diagnosed with autism, one of the most popular certifications for Texas educators is the Certified Autism Specialist (CAS) designation. Over the last twelve months nearly 800 Texas Educators and licensed professionals have completed the CAS Autism Training and Certification Program. These professionals are now certified and better prepared to work with children on the Autism spectrum.
“As a district director, I know parents are expecting my staff to be trained and able to make decisions regarding their child with Autism. At BISD we made the decision to invest in a core team of Certified Autism Specialists to be certified in our district. This decision also made it possible for our staff to receive the certification, as well as pertinent information and current research regarding Autism.” — Donna Perkins, CAS, Director of Special Education | Burkburnett Independent School District, TX
