Teaching Strategies for Autism Spectrum Disorders, with Maria Wheeler, M.Ed.
Some of the characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) include limitations of
attention, sensory difficulties, communication impairments, auditory processing problems,
restrictive patterns, excessive anxiety and limited social functioning. These traits
significantly interfere with learning and performance. When limited by the impact of the
characteristics of an ASD, the learner needs to be taught concepts and skills differently
than traditional students.
Learning Objectives for Participants:
-Explore how the traits of ASDs, including Autism, PDD and Asperger Syndrome, interfere
with learning
-Learn how to prepare students for learning
-Learn how to structure and present teaching experiences that actively involve children
who have ASDs in a variety of learning experiences
-Learn how to evaluate a non-verbal child’s knowledge of concepts taught
-Learn effective modifications and supports to facilitate learning and performance for
students of different ages across the Autism Spectrum
