In partnership with our host agency, Autism on the Seas, MBU students spend a week at sea on a cruise ship providing support to individuals on the autism spectrum and their families or caregivers. Students assist Autism on the Seas’ trained staff volunteers with client support during all aspects of the cruise experience. This experience is paired with ASD 360/ 640 Characteristics and Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders; students taking the associated course will have additional readings and requirements beyond the voyage itself.
