BILL NUMBER:S3416
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law, in relation to requiring all teachers to
complete training in the area of autism and directing the commissioner
of education to assure that such training is included in all teacher
certification programs
PURPOSE:
To require all teachers to receive autism training.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 removes references to "special education" in subdivision 4
of section 3004 of the education law. Thus requiring all teachers to
obtain autism training.
Section 2 establishes an effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that
an average of 1 in 110 children in the United States has an autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). With the rising prevalence of ASD it is
imperative that all teachers be trained to assist in early
identification and intervention. The earlier the students are
diagnosed, the sooner life changing treatment can be provided.
