" Social Cognition & School Success in Autism

Spectrum Disorders "

February 28 - 29, 2012

Tuesday, February 28:

" When My Autism Gets Too Big, " with Kari Dunn

Buron, M.S.

Autism Spectrum Disorders involve difficulties in

the areas of Social Thinking, Relationship Building, and Emotional Regulation.

This presentation will address these three areas of need as they impact a

person's ability to function in the highly social environment of school. Having

a problem of social cognition impacts a person's competence in almost all social

situations. These difficulties can lead to explosive behavior and even

aggression. Kari will present a brief overview of the social thinking research,

and autism learning theories emerging from the new field of educational

neuroscience. She will then describe and illustrate 5 systematic approaches to

teaching social information, and increasing a person's ability to understand and

regulate their emotional responses. The strategy discussion will include the use

of the 5-Point Scale, Video Self-Modeling, 5 Stars, relaxation, and direct

teaching of relationship skills.

Wednesday, February 29:

" 6 Critical Elements for Teaching Individuals with

ASD, " with Lori Ernsperger, Ph.D.

Increasing numbers of students are being

identified with pervasive developmental disorders which include autism and

Asperger Syndrome. School personnel are faced with a growing number of

instructional strategies and quick-fix approaches to meet the unique needs of

this growing population. Dr. Ernsperger will engage you in a highly interactive

and fast-paced seminar addressing the many questions and concerns you have as a

special education teacher, general education teacher, paraprofessional, or

therapist who works with these students. She will share evidence based

practices and strategies for increasing learning and promoting positive

behavior, along with ready-to-implement ways to develop predictable schedules,

organize the environment, create behavior intervention plans, and collect data

for progress monitoring. You will leave this conference with dozens of ideas

and strategies to help you make a real difference in your student's learning.
