This two part webinar series is designed as an introduction into reading comprehension for individuals with autism spectrum Disorder (ASD). Designed as a series, each of the sessions provides stand alone information valuable to teachers and other professionals, and families.
The second webinar will provide a framework for developing quality literacy instruction for individuals with ASD. We will define what it means to balance holistic and explicit instruction, and briefly describe literacy approaches for individuals emerging, developing, and using conventional literacy skills. While this session does not provide detailed instructional practices, participants will gain a framework for quality literacy instruction applicable to their individual learners, and link this to the reading profiles previously discussed.
After attending this webinar participants will be able to:
1. Describe a framework for developing quality literacy instruction for individuals with ASD
2. Describe at least two specific strategies for implementation in their classrooms.
3. Link previous knowledge about reading profiles to both heir literacy framework and specific literacy practices.
