Abstract	There is very little research about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Jordan, and no specific programs to help support these children. In addition, teachers are not equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to work with children with autism in school, so many parents send their children to a private center to get more support. The little research available indicates a lack of qualified teachers and equipment, which negatively affects children. However, many studies have shown that outcomes for children with ASD improve when teachers are provided with specific training that meet children's needs (Browder, Trela, & Jimenez, 2007; Dib & Sturmey, 2007; Jordan, 2003). This study examined the effect of specific training on autism spectrum disorders for practicum students in special education. Based on the hypothesis that educators and school leaders would benefit from specific training and coursework on ASD, this quantitative study obtained data from 45 practicum students who participated in four months of training on different teaching methods and skills specific for children with ASD. The results of this study suggest that the training had a positive impact on the students' views about ASD. (As Provided).
