Autism Training: Foster Independence and Autonomy at Home, School, and Work

October 17, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm PDT

Free
Autism & I/DD Training Free

Individuals with autism can experience challenges in executive functioning that dramatically affect their ability to perform tasks independently to completion. As a result, an autistic person often relies heavily on the support of family, teachers, job coaches, and caregivers to complete daily, academic, or work tasks. Join us in this training to learn about executive function, critical thinking, learning styles, and how it impacts independence. This training will also provide information, strategies, and tools that provide support, based on learning styles that encourage independence.

Training participants will learn:

  1. Overview of Autism characteristics,
  2. Understand learning styles, executive function, and critical thinking and its impact on independence and self-esteem.
  3. Learn strategies that encourage independence and autonomy; building on strengths, interests, and motivations.

RSVP is requested but not required in order to share information beforehand. There are three teacher clock hours available.

Questions/RSVP: Melia Hughes, [email protected], (360) 347-6412
