| This interactive day features group activities, real-world stories, and tools you can bring back to the classroom immediately. Participants will learn practical ways of supporting students with autism spectrum labels and other disabilities within a general education classroom. The centerpiece of the presentation is Paula’s “Top Ten Strategies List for Inclusive Classrooms” in which she addresses the need for sensory supports, visuals, active learning, “safe space," and materials that capitalize on student strengths. Other topics addressed include defining (and redefining) autism, listening to the voices of those with autism, creating more responsive lessons, making the classroom comfortable, and providing opportunities for communication skill development. The presentation provides teachers with the necessary knowledge and strategies to understand every student as complex, as capable, and as a learner. Learning Objectives for Participants: -Compare and contrast definitions of autism -Learn how some people with autism see and experience schooling -Learn the benefits of inclusive schools for students with autism -Learn active learning techniques appropriate for K-12 classrooms -Learn ideas for adapting curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners -Learn techniques for supporting the development of communication skills and competencies in inclusive classrooms |
