Information will be imparted though lecture\, interactive exercises\, and video clips. \nOur Presenter: Jed Baker\, Ph.D. is the director of the Social Skills Training Project\, an organization serving individuals with autism and social communication problems.  He writes\, lectures\, and provides training internationally on the topic of social skills training and managing challenging behaviors.  He is an award winning author of 8 books\, including Social Skills Training for Children and Adolescents with Aspergers Syndrome and Social Communication Problems; Preparing for Life: The Complete Handbook for the Transition to Adulthood for Those with Autism and Aspergers Syndrome; The Social Skills Picture Book; The Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond; No More Meltdowns: Positive Strategies for Managing and Preventing Out-of-Control Behavior; No More Victims: Protecting those with Autism from Cyber Bullying\, Internet Predators & Scams; Overcoming Anxiety in Children and Teens; and School Shadow Guidelines.
