Event Information
Featuring an energetic, engaging presentation style, in conjunction with lively PowerPoint slides and lots of facilitated audience interaction, this presenter creates and holds a space in which attendees can participate in a robust discussion about what science knows and does not know—yet—about autism. Included on the slides will be source data substantiating the presenter’s assertions.
—Supporting data and further reading will be made available to all participants which they can use to explore this topic more deeply and to share factual information with interested parties beyond the conference.
From this session, participants will get answers to their burning questions about autism. Participants will collect a body of fact-based information about autism, culled from the most current and verifiable data that will inform, enhance, and refresh their perspectives about their students on the autism spectrum. This paradigm shift will make a critical difference in transforming outcomes for these students.
Teachers will take away fresh, new energy, strategies, and ideas to guide their efforts at differentiation and inclusion.
Administrators will take away the knowledge needed to set an informed, realistic, and inclusive tone across the district.
And students will ultimately benefit from being supported by educators who believe in them, advocate for them, understand their distinct strengths and challenges, and who meet them where they are to invigorate their potential.
Supporting research will be provided to substantiate facts presented during the session.
