The primary focus of this domain is on demonstrating knowledge of current etiology and practice-based research specific to ASD while fostering lifelong learning to ensure educators can effectively meet evolving learner needs. I have selected three artifacts, each representing a specific competency, to showcase my ability to interpret and communicate research findings in accessible language, reflect on the importance of ongoing professional development, and implement evidence-based practices (EBPs). These artifacts highlight my commitment to providing meaningful learning experiences and continually improving my teaching strategies to support individuals with ASD.
