Practical and Innovative Strategies For Teaching Academic and Life Skills
Our next workshop will focus on realizing interdependence and independence through self-awareness, self-advocacy, and self-determination. With valuable advice for educators, parents and caregivers, direct service providers, and support professionals, this workshop is filled with practical strategies to help autistics be their authentic selves. You’ll learn from AuSM counselors and education leaders about evidence-informed practices, including visual supports, social narratives, task analysis, and video modeling. Our team will also cover establishing social and emotional skills, functional and adaptive skills, as well as overall academic and executive-functioning skills.
