Workshop & Event Registration v2.0

Encouraging student persistence and completion comes from understanding how students think and engage with classroom material, along with recognizing student barriers to success. But what happens when students think and engage differently and present barriers we don’t understand? What do we do? During this presentation you will gain a better understanding of some of the unique gifts students on the Autism Spectrum bring to your class. We also will discuss typical challenges that arise when working with these students. You will leave with strategies and resources to help you better assist and serve your students.

Participants will walk away with an understanding of ADA, your responsibilities, and the role of SAS. We will discuss student rights and responsibilities and you will obtain and increased confidence in working with this population.
