Class Descriptions:

NEW: TEACHING SIGN LANGUAGE TO

INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM: A MOTOR PLANNING APPROACH

Often children with autism have difficulty learning sign

language

utilizing traditional approaches. This is due to the fact

that they have

motor planning issues. Motor planning is the ability to

start, perform and

complete a series of movements. This class describes an

approach called

Pre-Sign and Sequenced Sign that teaches sign language by

improving the

individual's motor planning skills.

NEW: COMMUNICATION STRATEGIES FOR

LOW OR NONVERBAL INDIVIDUALS

This class will focus on strategies to enhance communication

skills for

individuals who are either non-verbal or low-verbal.

Different techniques

for incorporating Augmentative and Alternative Communication

(AAC) will be

discussed.

INTRO TO COMPUTER-BASED INTERVENTION (CBI)

You will open up a whole new world for your child. Computer-Based Intervention is a

great way for children with autism to learn new skills.

Research has shown

that individuals on the spectrum are often more successful

learning though

this channel. Technology is so important for our kids. Take

this free class

and learn how you can use technology to increase your

child's abilities. This class is sponsored by the

Unicorn Children’s Foundation.
