While every student on the ASD Spectrum is different, there are some common characteristics and strategies we can use to become more responsive teachers for our students. We will delve into the cognitive, communication, and socialization differences in students with ASD. Please wear clothes you can move in as we will be actively engaging in various learning experiences during this professional development seminar.
