Who should attend?
This free webinar series is for regular education and special education teachers, district-level personnel, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, early interventionists, psychologists, behavior specialists, social workers, paraprofessionals, college students, and anyone else interested in learning about students with autism. This webinar is a companion to our new Classroom Success course, but anyone interested can attend.
What will we cover?
Participants will learn about an evidence-based framework to prioritize goals using a lens of active engagement and a layer cake of teaching strategies to promote learning and positive behavior. To achieve the intensity needed and promote generalization for students with autism, we will highlight the importance of teaching and learning across everyday classroom activities. Video examples and audience participation will be used to illustrate how to apply this model to both in-person and virtual classrooms, and to teach parents strategies to support their child’s learning in everyday activities at home.
This webinar is a 6-week series that covers the following 6 topics:
- Week 1: Getting Started — Everything Grows out of Productive Roles
- Week 2: Active Engagement Step 1 — Coming Together Layer 1 Supports for a Shared Agenda
- Week 3: Active Engagement Step 2 — Keeping Together Layer 2 Supports for Social Reciprocity
- Week 4: Addressing Challenging Behavior Part 1
