AUTISM AND AD/HD: PRACTICAL IDEAS
FOR THE CLASSROOM
INSTRUCTOR(S):
Julie Martzke,
School Psychologist & Adjunct
Professor, Hamline University
GRADE LEVEL: K-12
The number of children diagnosed
with an autism spectrum disorder is
rapidly growing across the United
States. AD/HD continues to be
a commonly encountered disorder in
the classroom. Knowledge is
power and the more you can learn
about these disorders, the more
successful those children will be in
your classroom. In addition,
many regular education teachers have
found that the strategies that work
well with students with these
disorders also benefit ALL students
in their classes.
Course participants will:
 |
Develop a new understanding
of the main characteristics
of AD/HD and Autism Spectrum
Disorders and
understand their
similarities and
differences; |
|
|
Learn the impact of these
disorders on the social,
academic, and psychological
functioning in your
classroom; |
|
|
Learn practical strategies
focusing on social skills,
attention, organization, and
calming techniques in
K-12 classrooms; |
|
|
Be introduced to comic strip
conversations, have the
opportunity to make visual
supports for the classroom,
learn how to write social
stories, and learn how to
use a five-point scale to
help students identify and
manage their own behaviors. |
