Are you puzzled by autism spectrum disorders? Do you need strategies for your classroom for children with limited communication and social skills? Individuals on the autism spectrum have a neurobiological condition which makes them all quite unique. In this learning event recognize, explore, and investigate characteristics of individuals of all ages in child care settings who have been identified on the autism spectrum, explore stimming behaviors and the reasons that individuals with autism utilize those behaviors and identify strategies and tools to use for communication, social skills, and as well as types of interventions for behaviors.
Participants will engage in 5 hours of online coursework that includes powerpoint presentation with audio and discussion prompts, video clips, required reading materials, online polls, and interactive slides to encourage interaction and engagement as well as increase learner retention of knowledge.
