| Adolescence is a time of positive growth as well as challenges. This session will provide practical strategies for teaching teenagers of all ability levels the necessary life skills of self-care, self-regulation, self-advocacy, and self-esteem. What and how to explain about puberty, relationship boundaries and sexuality will be discussed, as will common adolescent concerns such as bullying and masturbation. Individualized transition plans will be covered. Areas to be emphasized include: focusing on the student’s strengths, developing work/career skills, preparing for college, different types of employment structures, employer needs and the use of mentors. |
| Considering the specific learning and support needs for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the inclusive classroom, participants of this workshop will learn processes to adaptively personalize and improve the quality of educational settings. Included will be how to provide rationales for curricular adaptations, differentiated instruction and universal design in the general classroom, how to set up an IEP-at-a-glance tool for supporting students, how to orchestrate a planning process so student needs are creatively met in a quality fashion and ideas for differentiation and universal design. Be prepared for something fun and different in this session! |
