What is Fieldwork in Autism?
Rutgers University undergraduate students interested in gaining hands-on clinical experience in autism, neurodiversity, and applied behavior analysis (ABA) can participate in Fieldwork in Autism. Students receive supervised, hands-on training working with autistic individuals through programs affiliated with the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center (DDDC) and Rutgers Center for Adult Autism Services (RCAAS).
Fieldwork combines a weekly clinical placement with course lectures and activities designed to introduce students to autism, applied behavior analysis, evidence-based teaching practices, data collection, and professional practice.
