This is a three-topic workshop for paraprofessionals. We will cover Autism 101, Self-Regulation and Zones, and an opportunity to pause and reflect on the experiences from this past year, reset your focus and identify next steps for professional growth.
Objectives:
- Explore key features associated with autism, including communication differences, sensory processing needs, and social interaction and behavior as communication.
- Explore self-regulation for students and adults and practical strategies you can implement.
- Identify areas within your control that influence success and develop focused goals for the next school year.
Topic 1 - Participants will explore the importance of clear boundaries to foster a safe, respectful, and effective learning environment.
