About the Workshop
This workshop was originally designed for regular education teachers who are including high functioning students with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome in their classes. It is also appropriate for parents and other caregivers with children who are mainstreamed and who may be considering higher education for their children.

Specific objectives are to gain an awareness of:
- Autism Spectrum Disorders and their characteristics and features
- Classroom Challenges
- Challenging Behaviors and their Functions
- Strategies for Success
This workshop is also appropriate for “specials” teachers such as physical education, music, art, etc.
