Spectrum Teaching Workshop

In this workshop participants will learn 10 guidelines to be more successful when communicating, guiding, and supporting persons who are on the autism spectrum or neurodiverse.
They will also be familiarized with types of autism, and the current view of what the spectrum means. We will explore the social and communication skills and tools that can be implemented to become more inclusive of those individuals on the spectrum.
