The IU Newsroom featured the publication of a new set of professional competencies for special education teachers who work with students with ASDs: What Every Special Educator Needs to Know. Cathy Pratt, director of the Indiana Resource Center for Autism, worked on the competencies. She described the publication as "a national standard that can be used for both course and program creation and for professional development in schools...This will increase the probability that new teachers will enter the classroom with the skills and knowledge needed to educate students across the autism spectrum."
The competencies were compiled with a grant from the Autism Society of America and published by the Center for Exceptional Children.
