The program aims to improve the knowledge of professionals in teaching students with autism spectrum disorders. The program includes nine hours of training delivered online, and it is approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. GGC introduced the program due to the rapid increase of students with autism in Gwinnett County K-12 schools, with an increase of about 1,400 students from 2013 to 2020, according to school systems data. Students who graduate with a Bachelor of Science in special education will earn a special education teaching license and autism endorsement.
