1. Teacher Aide - Understanding ASD and general strategies
Working effectively with a student with ASD is dependent upon a thorough understanding of ASD and how the disorder may impact on the individual.

We will provide practical strategies to facilitate successful interactions and inclusion in the school environment.

2. Teacher Aide - Communicating effectively with a student with ASD
Although not always immediately apparent, students with ASD experience significant challenges with communication. This can have implications for their ability to follow instructions, to respond appropriately to questions, to understand information and to participate in interactions with staff and peers. Students attempts to communicate are very often missed or misinterpreted leading to further confusion and frustration for all involved. This seminar aims to assist participants to recognise communication problems and to understand why they occur. Following on from this, we will discuss strategies to assist with communication breakdowns and promote effective communication.
