Participants will engage in an immersive training designed to equip educators and support staff with practical, hands-on strategies to enhance the learning environment for students with autism. Participants will engage in activities that teach them how to effectively structure classrooms and lessons to meet diverse needs, emphasizing the integration of evidence-based practices such as visual schedules, reinforcement systems, communication systems and tools to support functional and social communication skills. Through interactive workshops and collaborative exercises, attendees learn how to foster meaningful engagement and communication in their classrooms while ensuring that instructional methods align with best practices in autism education. Student volunteers offer practitioners opportunities to experience real-world application.
This three-day intensive deepens your understanding of physical structure, work systems, routines, and task structure. Participants will practice assessing individual skills to tailor visual supports across various environments and learn proactive behavioral prevention. This session is open to all educators, support staff, and family members living or working with a child with ASD.
