“Navigating the Autism Classroom: A Support Series for Teachers”
All behaviour is a form of
communication—and understanding what’s behind it helps us support our students
better. In this webinar, we’ll dive into how autistic students experience
self-regulation, what different behaviours might be telling us, and how to
respond with empathy and effective strategies. Walk away with a deeper
understanding of your student’s experience.
