Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a need for things to stay the same, as demonstrated by their restricted patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. This module will define this core deficit area; describe and explain intense interests. routines and rituals, and repetitive motor behaviors; and give ways to use these patterns of behavior for positive change in persons with ASD.

Research has shown that individuals with ASD demonstrate strength in visual learning. Visual supports organize a sequence of events, enhancing the student's ability to understand, anticipate, and participate in those events. This module will define visual supports and provide specific examples of their use.
