2021 Summer Symposium
Structuring the Unstructured: Evidence-Based Practices for Students with ASD and EBD Across Educational Settings
VIRTUAL, Aug. 5-6, 2021
All students benefit from structure, predictability, and routine. Especially for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Emotional Behavioral Disorder (EBD), this is important not only in classroom settings but also in non-classroom and extra-curricular settings as well. Learn from experts in the field as well as school teams to identify evidence-based practices that can be used to create structure and promote engagement across educational settings within a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS).
More Effective Together: Building Relationships and Trust Through the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions Model
Oct. 1, 2021 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. CST
Held Virtually
Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) is an evidence-based model that helps caregivers and children work together to address challenges, reduce conflict, and increase success. Receive an overview of the CPS model interspersed with hands-on reflection, examples, and discussion to help you dig deep into a positive way of approaching challenges. You will gain practical assessment and intervention tools that can be implemented across settings. Whether you’re a caregiver, a teacher, a direct service provider, or a professional, this workshop will powerfully shift the way you address conflicts and effectively resolve challenges.
