Overview
Students with autism, ADHD or related learning needs are frequently identified because their behavior and/or social skills are significantly different from other students their age. Their behavior may prevent them from participating successfully in their learning and social opportunities. These difficulties span across school and family life. It’s important to understand that there is a change of thinking about ASD which recognizes their neurodiversity. That affects how behavior and social differences are addressed.
This program will dig deeper into identifying the range of autism learning and thinking differences, personal strengths, and individual passions to discover how they affect a student’s ability to participate successfully in life opportunities. Visual strategies frequently become effective tools to provide short-term learning or lifelong support for mastering behavior and social needs.
