On-Demand Course: Goal Writing for Autistic Students

In this comprehensive on-demand course, Autistic speech-language pathologist Rachel Dorsey, MS, CCC-SLP, together with neurodiverse occupational therapy and speech-language pathology colleagues Kelsie Olds, MOT; Maribel Serrano Holder, MS, CCC-SLP; Jess Miles, MOT, OTR/L; and Karina Saechao, PhD, CCC-SLP, ATACP, will guide you through a thoughtful, strengths-based approach to goal writing that centers the whole child. Rather than relying on templates or compliance-driven goals, you’ll learn a practical clinical reasoning process that helps you identify meaningful priorities, select appropriate supports, and confidently write individualized goals that align with neurodiversity-affirming practice. Through a series of realistic case studies, guided practice, downloadable resources, and Rachel’s step-by-step clinical reasoning, you’ll develop a framework you can immediately apply with your own students. Whether you’re new to goal writing or looking to move beyond outdated approaches, this course will help you write goals with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose. This self-paced course includes approximately 7 hours of recorded video and 2 hours of self-study. This course is currently available for pre-order and will officially launch on September 30.
