Workshop Date: April 4, 2011

E.I. Workshop - Building A Social Foundation When Working with Children with

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

Workshop Description:

In typically developing children, social skills develop from birth, and lay the

foundation for acquisition of language. When a child is first diagnosed with

ASD, social skills should be a focus of early intensive behavioral

intervention. However, at times, prerequisite (potentially maladaptive)

behaviors preclude social skills intervention early on. This workshop will

discuss pivotal social skills which lay the groundwork for language

acquisition. How to task analyze and develop a ‘social plan’ to increase

appropriate interaction with others will be reviewed.

Location: Eden II/Genesis Outreach Autism Center, 1055 Avenue,

Bethpage, NY

Time: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Fee: $75 - ASHA CEUs

Asperger Syndrome & High Functioning Autism: Creating Solutions for School and

Home Life

Workshop Description:

Individuals with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and High Functioning Autism (HFA) often

display skill deficits in the areas of socialization, communication, behavior,

and academics. Although many individuals with AS and HFA demonstrate IQ scores

within normal range, these social and learning deficits often greatly interfere

with their functioning in both school and home settings. This workshop will

provide an overview of the unique learning characteristics associated with

Asperger Syndrome and HFA, and provide programs to address these deficit

areas. Strategies for promoting social and abstract language, developing

social skills, addressing “melt-downs,” anxiety, other problem behaviors, and

strategies for classroom teachers will also be addressed.

Location: Eden II/Genesis Outreach Autism Center, 1055 Avenue,

Bethpage, NY

Time: 9:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Conduct will be reviewed. A variety of vignettes will be provided to attendees

variety of participants (children, adults, individuals with autism and other

diagnoses, and typically developing individuals). This workshop will review

the historical underpinnings of this teaching methodology, how to design FBI

programs, data collection and analysis procedures, and ways to modify

programs. Participants will have hands-on opportunities to develop Fluency

Based Instruction programs, practice delivering instruction, and will receive

constructive feedback.
