Academically Able Students with Autism

This workshop requires some prior knowledge. Project ACCESS recommends that you complete the following workshop (s) before you enroll in this workshop: Autism 101

Students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder, but are able to access the regular curriculum, require unique supports. While these students often have social skill deficits that directly impact their ability to profit from instruction, engage with the school community, and make the transition to adulthood, they are under-served. This workshop focuses on identifying these students, but more importantly outlines program supports along with an emphasis on skills necessary to make the transition from school to post-secondary endeavors.

Learning outcomes include:

Identification of students with ASD who are functioning academically
Programming suggestions geared especially to social competence and executive functioning skills
Assistance in transition planning for these students
