The Autism Professional Learning and Universal Supports (A+) project at Illinois State University plays a vital role in addressing the significant behavior needs of children and youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related behavior and communication disorders, in collaboration with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). As the number of children and adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder continues to increase, so does the need for specially trained staff. To ensure their success in the educational setting, learners with ASD require specific strategies and supports. Equally important, school teams supporting these students must possess the knowledge and skills to provide effective interventions. Professional learning is an integral component of the technical assistance A+ provides to educators across Illinois.

This is a remote/online position, with regular communication and collaboration with internal teams. Illinois State University is authorized to do business within the State of Illinois. All work under this appointment is required to be performed from within the State of Illinois.

Flexibility and adaptability are key, and occasional travel to ISU may be required.
