Five-Day Classroom Training – Elementary Through High School, Ages 6-21 (On-Site in Pittsboro, NC)

ONLINE

This five-day course provides a theoretical foundation as well as hands-on opportunities to assess and teach school-aged children on the autism spectrum in a demonstration classroom setting. The premise of this foundation is an understanding of the learning styles of individuals with autism and how to use teaching strategies that capitalize on learning strengths.
An emphasis is placed on the use of Structured TEACCHing principles and other evidence-based practices to teach children and adolescents with autism skills in the areas of academics, communication, independence, social and leisure, stress reduction routines and coping strategies, and vocational.
Participants will have an opportunity to apply these strategies with students of varying ages and developmental levels in a classroom setting. The training includes presentations, small group discussions, demonstration classroom activities, and hands-on experiences for five consecutive days.
