Description
This module is intended for participants educating students with Autism
Spectrum Disorder, who may have previously been considered to have
Asperger's Syndrome (AS). The module explores effective practices
identified in the literature to support students in their school
environment. Relevant topics covered include social attribution theory,
theory of mind, development of trust, social competence, and
neurobiological differences, which are critical to supporting the
social, emotional, and behavioral development of students with ASD. The
Path A / Path B strategy is used to teach participants how attributions
impact decision-making and responses to the behaviors of students with
ASD. Strategies and examples of tools designed to support the
interpretation of complex social concepts are included.
