Presenter: Joel Shaul, M.A.
Most of us are thoroughly trained academically and well-versed in theory, but we all know what it is like to run out of engaging ideas to use with our clients. These two 3-hour webinars endeavor to reinforce professional practice repertoires with 30 ready-to-use lessons, activities and games that can be immediately downloaded and put into use. Participants will be shown how to access Joel’s website, AutismTeachingStrategies.com, and to download and use dozens of free printout games, activities, worksheets, slide presentations and lessons on the topics of conversation, relationships and emotional regulation. In both webinars, Joel will clearly explain the free materials, and with abundant pictures he will show how to use them. The featured resources include: games, drawing activities and worksheets to promote learning about peers; picture card-matching activities to help find common ground in conversation; games and activities to troubleshoot diverse aspects of peer relationships; simple and effective ways to incorporate use of video camera into social skills work. The featured resources are for children with high functioning autism age 6 to 16.
This session is approved for 2.5 TSHA CEUs.
