Teresa Bolick, Ph.D.
Children and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome (AS) can intrigue and confound us- often simultaneously. Designed for participants with a basic knowledge of AS, this workshop will present a framework that allows us to build upon strengths in order to minimize challenges in the real world. Participants will learn accommodations, modifications, and direct teaching strategies that optimize availability for learning and enhance social cognition, communication, and emotional competence. The workshopwill emphasize practical strategies that can be used across school, home, and community settings.
Increase understanding of the characteristics of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) that impact behavior and can foster communication breakdowns and feelings of being overwhelmed. Learn how to address both the social and sensory needs of an individual. Topics will include: effective behavior interventions, visual supports for maximizing communication and minimizing confusion, and preventing and dealing with shutdowns and meltdowns. This presentation is appropriate for educators, therapists, caregivers and parents of children/teens with ASD.

The Autism Spectrum: Social Skills,
and Students with Asperger Syndrome
Specific, user-friendly strategies and techniques for providing relevant social skills instruction to children and teens with ASD will be shared at this workshop. Enjoyable socialization methods are emphasized so individuals may experience success and desire to build skills. Social deficits affect life at home, school and eventually in the workplace. Conference participants will learn both highly beneficial strategies that can be used across a variety of settings and routines; and practical and effective solutions to assist 'typical' peers, family members and professionals to become more understanding, accepting and engaging of those with social difficulties.
This workshop will focus on specific strategies to increase the likelihood of providing a successful experience for students with Asperger Syndrome (AS) in school. Workshop participants will (a) gain an understanding of the challenges of students with AS in the school setting; (b) learn specific strategies to reduce the likelihood of problematic behavior by pro-actively engineering a supportive environment, and (c) learn practical strategies to address common academic, social, organizational, and behavioral issues.
