On-Demand Training

Teaching autistic students requires a deep understanding of their unique experiences, especially in regulation, sensory processing, and emotional well-being. This course equips educators with the knowledge and tools to support autistic students in maintaining regulation, preventing elopement, overcoming work refusal, and navigating aggression. By exploring the underlying factors behind these challenging behaviors, teachers will gain practical strategies to foster a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment. 

For teachers, it is essential to strengthen inclusive practices, enhance student engagement, and embrace the unique strengths and perspectives of all learners including those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other forms of neurodivergence. This session explores the transformative power of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in fostering environments where every student can thrive.
