About the Event:
| For: School Teams, Community Professionals & Parents Level: Introductory/Intermediate Focus: School-age children Approach: Intensive, pre-readings required Autism-specific? Yes |
This course has recently been revised to reflect current research and evidence-based practice. Instruction includes practical hands-on training through instructor demonstration and coaching. In addition, course participants complete applied exercises in the key elements of teaching and supporting students with ASD. Expectations: the course structure involves pre-readings and class discussions, in addition to ongoing opportunities for the participant to apply concepts through active participation. Allison Adams is a teacher and a behavior consultant with POPARD. She has worked with students with ASD for 17 years and has a passion for social cognitive approaches and building relationships with students and their support networks.
