Social Skills: Assessment and Intervention for Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome or High-Functioning Autism
Saturday June 15th, 9:30-4:30 |

As educators, we understand the difficulty in implementing effective social skills instruction in the classroom. This conference will present strategies for assessment and intervention of social skills from the perspective of a teacher – a teacher “in the trenches.” Strategies are only as good as our ability to implement them. Drawing on the research and work of Michelle Garcia Winner, we’ll provide you with practical solutions, helping you to understand which strategies to select, for who, and why.
