Success on the Spectrum! Tips for Working with Students on the Autism Spectrum
If you are an educator, you have most certainly worked with a student on the autism spectrum. The hallmark deficits and characteristics of autism can bring delights as well as challenges to the classroom. This session will give participants 20 "tips" which are evidence-based strategies or interventions for helping the student on the autism spectrum achieve success in school. Participants will walk away with a checklist of things to consider proactively or in response to learning challenges. The strategies range from universal supports, benefiting all students in the classroom, to targeted or intensive supports. Every student on the autism spectrum is different, and there is no one solution for guaranteeing school success. However, educators can increase the chances of a positive outcome for their students when discovering and implementing evidence-based interventions while considering student needs.
- At the end of the presentation, participants will share at least two evidence-based strategies that will be implemented with one or more students on the autism spectrum in their educational environment.
- Throughout the presentation, participants will demonstrate learned knowledge of evidence-based interventions and under what level of tiered supports those interventions fall.
