Abstract

Preliminary teachers call out for more preparation for autism inclusion in their credential programs. The purpose of this study is to explore the framing of autism inclusion by professors of multiple and single subject preliminary teacher candidates. Data were collected using a qualitative single embedded intrinsic case study design employing focus groups, document review, and external scoring to a frame scale. Themes that arose included human interest and proposed solutions, with increasing specificity to autism, and social construction following reframing. Practical implications from this study include meaningful understanding and support for professors who prepare preliminary teacher candidates.
