Building Bridges Across the Autism Spectrum

More students on the autism spectrum are being placed in inclusive classrooms now than ever before. That means that general educators are being stretched in “special” directions. In this dynamic session, general educators will explore and reimagine the classroom through the eyes, ears, noses, toes, and myriad challenges of students on the spectrum. Participants will collect practical strategies for easing anxiety, enhancing executive function, soothing the senses, supporting socialization, and decoding and pre-empting disruptive behaviors. Together we will build bridges to help reach and teach these remote students, meeting them where they are, and helping them bring their best selves to the classroom.
