Autism Spectrum Disorders and Social Understandings(Cancelled) 10/03/2018 8:30 am - 3:30 pm Registration starts at 8:00 am
This course is designed to provide participants with a framework for understanding how autism affects an individual's social understanding. One of the major areas impacted by autism is social skills. Individuals on the spectrum tend to struggle with social communication, making friends, participating in groups, and other daily social interactions. Topics of discussion will include the misperception that individuals with autism do not want to socialize, the impact failed social attempts may have on a student, the role Theory of Mind and Central Coherence play on social interactions, and what interventions/instructional strategies can be used to support an individual with autism to increase their social competence.
Participants will be able to identify how social understanding is affected by autism. They will also understand how unsuccessful social interactions my impact the outlook of an individual with autism. Participants will identify how a variety of instructional strategies can be used to help support the development of improved social skills.
