About the Course

Teachers will actively participate in online learning to further develop their understanding of the Autism Disorder and how it impacts the learning of these students. Specific applications will be made to practice by discussing different strategies to support students in the classroom setting.

Throughout the course, we will focus on an overview of the disability, how Autism impacts language/emotions, social interactions, cognitive and sensory needs. This will be through reading sections of the book, The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome by Tony Attwood as well as other readings and videos.

Required Text:

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Identify strategies to support students with Autism in the general education setting.
  • Develop knowledge of how Autism impacts social/emotional needs, cognitive needs, language needs, and sensory needs and how to accommodate these needs in large group settings.
  • Create a plan using visual strategies and behavior management to provide a successful environment for students with Autism.

Tell us why you chose "Something Else"

Behavior strategies, interventions, Autism strategies, interventions

Who are you?

I teach the elementary (K-5) SIED program for Littleton Public Schools (center-based program for students with severe emotional and behavioral disabilities).

What led you to education?

First of all, I love having summer off AND.......I wanted to be a counselor, but I felt 1 hour was effective enough so I chose this type of classroom to maximize the time I can work with students with severe behavior challenges.

What do you have a knack for? How did you find that out?

I have a knack for finding effective strategies to help students with behavioral challenges.  I discovered this when I was managing swimming pools and would help the "pool rats" who had trouble with all the lifeguards have fun at the pool.

What are you passionate about personally? What do you really enjoy? What can’t you stop talking about?

I am passionate about advocating for what a child needs in all settings (school, home, youth athletics).  I have a few soap boxes that I get on, but I want to make sure a child feels safe and successful in all areas!

Where can we find you when you’re not working? What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend or a Sunday afternoon?

When I am not working, I am usually either outside enjoying the sun, probably while watching my boys in their athletic events.  They play football, basketball and baseball and currently I am coaching varsity volleyball so I'm either on a field our court this time of year!

What would be impossible for you to give up?

It would be impossible for me to give up playing volleyball myself.  I currently play 1 night a week with a fun group of ladies!
