Conference on Inclusion

As more and more students are being identified with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other developmental disabilities, teachers and school staff are increasingly looking for ways to best support these students in their classrooms. This interactive session will explore key theories and strategies for creating school communities that meaningfully include students with disabilities. We will consider the experience of autism in the areas of sensory and movement differences, communication, social interaction and behavior and will discuss teaching practices for educating a diverse population that includes students on the autism spectrum. (There will be a one hour break for lunch.)
