4. Provide a definition of a special interest area and explain how teachers can use special interests to help students with autism do their schoolwork.

Pre-test

First, we are going to do a test to see how much you know about the topics in this Module. We will do the test at the beginning of the module to see what you already know, and at the end of the module to see what new information you have learned. This helps us to measure how successful this module is in training you.
