Introduction to Autism for General Education Staff AUTISM

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral differences for a learner. Often there is nothing about the way a learner looks that tells us they have ASD. This can lead to limited understanding or recognition of the need to support these learning style differences until they present as a challenge in the classroom or on campus. In this training we will identify the characteristics of autism, discuss how thinking, learning and problem-solving may look different for learners with autism, where to locate resources and develop an understanding of the 28 evidence-based practices (EBPs) for autism and how to use them within the general education environment.

Intended Audience

General education teachers, paraprofessionals, campus staff, administrators, service providers, and clinicians.
