As part of the capstone requirements, design an autism action research project that is built as part of each course in the program of study. The topic for the project is your choice, but it must be focused on students with autism or some aspect of teaching and autism that is relevant to your professional interests and goals. A practical purpose of this capstone project is for you to investigate scholarly research in your autism area of interest and conduct your own action research. Review “Autism Action Research Project Overview” to become familiar with the project specifics.
The next step in the action research project is to write the 1,250-1,500 word literature review. Refer to the “Autism Action Research Project Template” for details about how to complete the assignment and carefully review “Chapter 11: Conducting Teacher Action Research.” Utilize the “MA: Autism Spectrum Disorder Library Guide” as needed to complete the topic assignment.
