Course description

Are you a School Administrator with questions about supporting students with autism? If so, you won’t want to miss this two-part webinar series. 

In this series, we will answer the most frequently asked questions we receive from school administrators.  The interviewees for this webinar will provide succinct, practical ways for school administrators to support students, families, and staff in the educational journey of students with autism.

Learning Objectives

Part 1 will answer the frequently asked questions from Administrators including: What is autism and what is the school’s role in the educational identification process? Do most students with autism need a paraeducator working with them?  How do we effectively meet the needs of students with autism, and the staff working with them?  What are effective strategies for dealing with problem behaviors and diverse sensory needs?  What do we do when things aren’t working?

Part 2 will include interviews and tips from current school administrators and will include topics such as how to support staff training needs, how to help staff individualize programming for students with autism, how to be involved and or lead effective IEP meetings, working with outside providers, and more.
