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

of autism- the ones parents, teachers and individuals on the spectrum face every day. She
offers helpful do's and don'ts, practical strategies and try-it-now tips, all based on her "insider"
perspective and a great deal of research. After lunch Temple will cover her book "Developing
Talents." This remarkable instruction is essential for individuals on the spectrum, along with
anyone who teaches, cares for or employs someone on the spectrum. She shows how to
apply her guidelines, suggestions and examples to career development in real life.
Temple will cover:
-How and why people with autism think differently
-How sensory sensitivities affect learning
-Teaching people with autism to live in an unpredictable world
-Behaviors caused by a disability vs. just bad behaviors
-The search for suitable careers for individuals on the spectrum
-Developing social and communication skills
