Teaching Students with Autism






I would like to reach out to you constant readers about an upcoming webinar series of free lunchtime ‘lightening’ (10-15 min) talks on the topic of drama and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) sponsored by the Kennedy Center/VSA.
 
You can find information about the presenters and free registration in the Kennedy Center’s link below for November’s webinar series on drama and ASD.
 
The lightening talks are designed to be short presentations at 12 noon on Tuesdays in November, followed by Q and A's with participants.
 
When you register, you will have access to all of the speakers’ materials and the video/transcriptions from the webinars in case you cannot attend live and would still like to receive the information.


Teaching Students with Autism: What Teaching Theater Teaches Us
Tuesdays in November from 12:30 p.m. to 12:45 p.m.
 

Join the Kennedy Center this November as they kick off a four part, mini-series of FREE lunchtime webinars on Teaching Students with Autism: What Teaching Theater Teaches Us. In this series, three psychologists will share insights from their research on how theater activities affect cognitive and social skills in children with autism spectrum disorders. On the final webinar, a special educator will discuss how those findings impact classroom practice.
