Abstract

This qualitative study examines how an inclusive teaching course designed for future faculty (e.g., graduate students, postdocs) influenced their readiness to teach autistic college students. Participants learned about Universal Design principles, experimented with teaching techniques, and demonstrated increases in knowledge, comfort, and preparation to teach autistic college students.
