WORKING WITH LEARNERS WITH HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM AND ASPERGERS DISORDER:

PROMOTING QUALITY OUTCOMES

Presenter: Joanne Gerenser, Ph.D. CCC-SLP

Despite cognitive and linguistic abilities within normal limits and

beyond, long term outcomes for individuals with High Functioning Autism and

Asperger’s Disorder continue to be poor. Many students struggle with

communication issues throughout school aged years in spite of the ability

for some to eventually graduate and continue on to college. Despite this,

however, many remain socially isolated and have difficulty getting or

keeping a job. This workshop will provide an overview of the social,

language, and learning challenges faced by individuals with HFA and

Asperger’s Disorder. Programs to address social and abstract language

development as well social skills will be addressed. In addition, issues

such as bullying, meltdowns, and other important related areas will be

reviewed.

This workshop will offer .4 ASHA CEUs
