Practical Strategies that Foster Independence for Studen ts ASD \n\nDESCRIPTION: Are you struggling with teaching your students ind ependent functioning skills? If so\, this training is for you! A primary g oal when teaching students with ASD is to increase independent functioning and decrease dependence on adults. However\, this can be quite challengin g in school-based settings where the educational climate often fosters adu lt support. For our students with ASD\, who by the nature of their disabil ity can become “prompt-dependent”\, this instructional style can be qu ite detrimental. This training will address providing guidance and instruc tion to educational professionals/adults to maximize independent functioni ng skills for students with ASD. A unique educational planning guide will be shared\, designed to assist teams in identifying contexts and situation s that require adult support\, necessitating the need for instruction and development of independent skills. Participants will leave with numerous p ractical\, “learn it today / use it tomorrow” evidence-based strategie s\, incorporating various modes of technology\, to increase the independen t functioning skills of students with ASD.\n\n \;\n\nParticipants will be able to:\n\nDiscuss why increasing independent functioning skills in s tudents with Autism Spectrum Disorder is a critical life skill.\n\nDefine resources and strategies for providing guidance and instruction to educati onal professionals/adults to maximize independent functioning skills for s tudents with Autism Spectrum Disorder.\n\nUtilize an independent functioni ng planning guide to identify student needs and subsequent strategies for teaching independent functioning skills.\n\nDescribe 3 examples of how to use the evidence-based practice of visual supports to teach independent fu nctioning skills to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder\n\nState 3 exam ples of how to use the evidence-based practice of video modeling to teach independent functioning skills to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder\n \n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nLactation Room: \;If you are in need of a lactation room the \;day\, of the training\, please indicate so in the accommodations section of this registration.\n\nSchedul e:\n\n8:00-8:30  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \; &n bsp\;  \;  \; Registration\n\n8:30-11:30 \;  \;  \; &n bsp\;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;Presentation\n\n11:30 -12:45  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \; Lun ch on your own\n\n12:45-3:45  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;   \;  \;  \;  \; Presentation\n\n \;\n\nWho should attend: T his workshop is intended for educators\, related service providers\, admin istrators\, community providers\, and families.\n\n \;\n\nHandouts: Ha ndouts and materials will be posted to the registration site as soon as th ey are available.
