Autism Endorsement

Participants should verify with their school district that the course is in the District's Professional Learning Catalog, that the course has been approved by the district, and is eligible for points.

* Please be advised that an endorsement is a rider on a valid Florida teaching certificate with another subject coverage. It cannot stand alone on the certificate. It is important to note that this add-on endorsement can only be added to your professional certification in conjunction with certification in any exceptional student education area.

If you have any questions about upcoming courses or registration for an online course please reach out to our Virtual Learning Specialist.
