| Abstract
|
:
|
Currently, more children are receiving a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) than at any other time in history (Wilkinson, 2017). In the United States, there are more than 400,000 students with ASD who attend school (Brock, Huber, Carter, Juarez, & Warren, 2014). Previous studies (e.g., Messmer-Wilson, 2006; Pearson, 2008) have suggested that school psychologists lack formal graduate school training in working with children with ASD. Past research indicates that most school psychologists are not using evidence-based assessment consistently when completing ASD assessments in schools (e.g., Aiello, Ruble, & Esler, 2017; Pearson, 2008). Additionally, school psychologists may need to shift the way they view ASD. There have been mixed results regarding attitudes and stigma among mental health professionals working with individuals with mental illness (Hansson, Jormfeldt, Svedberg, & Svensson, 2013; Lauber et al., 2006; Smith, 2008), but no studies to date have examined stigma among school psychologists working with individuals with ASD.
