| Description | | Who should attend: This training is recommended resource teachers, speech-language pathologists, counselors, school
psychologists, parents, and other professionals working with students with High Function Autism or Asperger
Syndrome. This is a required training
for all 3rd+ year Circle of Friends grant site facilitators.
What will you learn: Come learn about a Step-by-Step Conversation Framework for
Teaching Conversational Balance and Fluency for High-Functioning Individuals
with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Research
shows that knowing how to converse with others is related to having a job,
having friends, and being independent. Conversation is everywhere – at
the lunch table, at after-school activities, in the line for the water
fountain, at overnight camp during downtime, at work with a coworker, and at a
Thanksgiving gathering. Regardless of the setting, this critical skill – human
conversation – is challenging for many individuals with high-functioning autism
spectrum disorder (HF-ASD) – children and adults alike. For these reasons, it
is essential to equip individuals with ASD with effective conversational skills.
