Elevate Your ASD Awareness To Empower Lifelong Learning

Our insight into the autism spectrum has evolved in recent decades. Alongside these developments, teaching methods, therapy programs, and behavioral techniques have grown, too. Increasing educators', caregivers', and parents' awareness of the unique underlying issues and potential treatments available for children with autism is critical to their thriving.

Teach Every Student With Confidence.

Even though this workshop is only required once, the principles inside last a lifetime. Understanding the resources and teaching methods available to support students with an ASD is crucial in creating a positive learning experience for students.

Inside your Workshops Express training, you'll be equipped with the knowledge you need to meaningfully contribute to your student's success, no matter where they fall on the autism spectrum.

Lesson 1

Introduction

This lesson also expands on popular terms such as 'high/low functioning' and provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic tools clinicians may use.

Lesson 2

Etiology and Prevalence

While the root cause of autism is unknown, a handful of genetic and environmental triggers are crucial for educators to understand. This in-depth lesson will enhance your contribution to your student's success.

Lesson 3

Characteristics of Autism

In this lesson, you'll break down misconceptions about ASD and form a comprehensive awareness of specific behaviors associated with autism. From language and communication to stims and aggression, you'll learn to differentiate between normal development and potentially autistic behavior.

Lesson 4

Evidence-Based Instructional Methods and Interventions for Teaching Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

While there are various teaching methods for students with an ASD, it is key to do your due diligence in choosing the most appropriate strategy. In this lesson, discover the difference between anecdotal and evidence-based interventions.

Lesson 5

Interventions for Children with Autism Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

Explore the influence of conditioning on students in this lesson on learning. You'll also discover how ABA employs discrete trial teaching and data collection to improve learning outcomes for students with an ASD.

Lesson 6

Auditory Integration Training (AIT)

Maladaptive behaviors displayed by students can hinder learning and successful social integration in a school environment. In this lesson, you'll learn about the process and potential of AIT training to reduce these behaviors.

Lesson 7

Find out how combining teaching methodologies and techniques can be another highly effective approach to supporting students with autism. This lesson covers the philosophy and assessments used in the TEACCH public health program.

Lesson 9

The Miller Method

Focusing on the system-forming abilities of children with autism, the Miller Method offers a path from dysfunctional to functional behavior. In this lesson, you'll learn about the special adaptive sensory equipment, interventions, and benefits of this evidence-based approach.

Lesson 10

Sensory Integration

Through a variety of proprioceptive, tactile, and vestibular manipulations Sensory Integration therapy supports children with over and under responsiveness to stimuli. This lesson will teach you how and why this technique is used by occupational therapists.

Workshops express was very easy and efficient to work with! At first I was hesitant to trust an online company to complete my workshops but I was pleasantly surprised.
