This Sunday, Autism Advocacy Coalition of Virginia (AAC-VA) brings part 2 of its

series entitled Survival Strategies for Everyday Living. Part 1 was on behavior

management. Part 2 is on social and relationship awareness.

Every day, individuals with autism struggle to relate with their environment and

the important people in their lives. Families face the challenge of dealing

with this inability to socially interact. Social interaction opens doors to

better communication and self management skills. Teaching individuals with

autism to socially interact and relate to the environment in their daily lives

is a key to their progress.

Workshop Description: This workshop teaches how to incorporate social

interaction goals into daily living for individuals with autism across ALL

levels of the spectrum (including non-vocal learners). Specifically, this

workshop will discuss (1) how individuals with autism can be taught to be

interested in gaining the social attention of family members, peers and other

important people (2) ways to develop leisure activities that focus on social

interaction; (3) how to teach individuals with autism to be curious which in

turn builds the foundation for advanced language skills; and (4) provide

coping strategies for dealing with anxiety and obsessions that occur in social

environments. The workshop will also focus on the key role that social

awareness plays in language development and behavior management.

Speakers: Kimberlee Ambach BCaBA & Nadya Molina BCBA
