Description

School administrators are seeking a deeper understanding and new strategies to serve a growing population of students with autism. An overburdened system and the Common Core’s emphasis on language and communications skills has created a sense of urgency to find the best approaches to giving them appropriate access to the curriculum.

Dr. Temple Grandin, a leading autism expert, will highlight the latest research about autism, Asperger’s syndrome and other mental disorders. She will offer new insight and practical ideas for special education leaders and parents to help them better understand why particular strategies work and don’t work. A question and answer period will give you the opportunity to tap into the knowledge and experience of her incredible mind.
