The Autism Lens helps teachers to connect to students with autism and support them along their own unique trajectory. Bringing to life communication difficulties that impact socialization and learning, Dr. Kara Dymond will discuss practical solutions and classroom-tested strategies that will help you to see instruction from a student’s point of view. From this perspective, teachers can gain trust and nudge students into the space where learning happens.
