The development of competencies specific to specialized populations is an emerging area of interest in the counseling profession. Rising rates of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among children in the United States have drawn the attention of service providers advocating for the advancement of practices that promote comprehensive, high-quality care for this underserved population. Extending these efforts, this phenomenological study examined counselors’competencies in working with children with autism. Analysis of in-depth interviews with 14 counselors identified five key themes: (a) early awareness, (b) expanding clinical understanding, (c) adaptive technique use, (d) professional counselor identity, and (e) embodied personal characteristics. Implications for enhancing services for this population in both clinical and K-12 settings are discussed. |
