Students with Asperger's syndrome and high-functioning autism present unique challenges for educators in the classroom. Learn practical, easy-to-implement strategies for teaching social skills, addressing challenging behaviors, and tackling academic skill deficits
in the inclusive classroom from a nationally recognized autism education expert, Rebecca Moyes.

She has trained in 42 states. She is a consultant to many families and school districts in Pennsylvania and has helped to craft countless IEP's. Most importantly, she is the parent of a young adult with Asperger's syndrome. She will provide photos and video footage of students with ASD and demonstrate easy-to-replicate strategies that will make this an engaging and highly effective training. Come spend the day with Rebecca and take back to your classroom a wealth of practical information!   (8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.)
