Homeschooling is a popular choice for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Being able to control the environment, customize the pace, and limit distractions can be game-changing! Families of children with autism often value finding a curriculum with flexibility, accessibility, and the ability to let them explore special interests. If this sounds familiar, you may be interested in a Certified Autism Resource!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Certified Autism Resource has been found by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) to meet the sensory and communication needs of people with autism. This certification helps parents choose programs that are inclusive, accessible to, and supportive of students on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pew Research Center<\/a> found that students with autism were 12% of the nation\u2019s students with disabilities in 2021-22, compared with 1.5% in 2000-01. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As autism research improves diagnostic methods, the standards for programs and resources for individuals with autism also improve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, due to the high demand for autism accommodations but low supply of special education professionals, students with autism might not receive enough support at their local public school. Because of this, many families choose homeschooling for its flexibility and adaptiveness to their child\u2019s unique needs. Autism certifications can guide parents toward programs with the right structure and support for autistic learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To become certified, a curriculum must be independently reviewed and approved by IBCCES, showing adequate support for autistic learners. By evaluating sensory, communication, and accessibility design, autism certifications help parents choose programs that give their child the right tools to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Miacademy\u2019s award-winning homeschool curriculum is a great choice for students with autism, offering unparallelled flexibility and customization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Each learner follows a personalized learning path, progressing at their own pace, revisiting material as needed, and exploring topics at the level that\u2019s best for them.
