Multi-Situational Social Pragmatics: the Key to Functional Success in HFA/AS

Having a student with social difficulties in the classroom can present numerous challenges. This training will teach participants how to reframe their thinking in addressing students with social deficits thereby enabling them to participate more fully in the educational system so as to achieve social and academic success. These students are often unaware of their own limitations. Their ability to effectively engage and communicate is hampered by deficits that standardized tools often fail to target and many professionals have struggled to teach. Participants will learn how to identify foundational deficits, develop goals, and utilize interventions that have lasting functional impact outside the therapy settings. Participants will also learn a variety of behavioral supports designed to enhance the student’s ability to participate more fully in the academic agenda and to defuse power struggles in the academic environment that benefit the student and staff.
