Virtual Parent-Caregiver Training
The virtual parent-caregiver training series provides information and tools for supporting children with autism and other The virtual parent-caregiver training series provides information and tools for supporting children with autism and other developmental disabilities in the home setting. Each session will cover evidence-based and effective strategies to use during routines at home and will cover supports for students in both Pre-K, Primary & Secondary ages. All classes in the series use live instruction, demonstration, video, and discussion to present the information. The sessions are designed as a series, but it is not necessary to attend all sessions to benefit. When possible, we encourage parents-caregivers to attend all 4 sessions within the same cohort. Classroom teachers and/or school support staff are also welcomed to attend for collaboration.
Each session will be 2 hours with approximately 90min of content and 30min of Q & A
Session 1: Identifying Strategies That Work

This session describes how to break down routines into small steps and practice steps that are difficult. Learn how to embed skill instruction into daily routines and motivate your child to be independent.
Session 3: Visualize It: Using Supports Effectively
This session outlines ways to design structured and predictable environments that support children’s independence and learning. Also included: a discussion of visual schedules, visual supports, and environmental arrangement to teach children important skills and routines.
Session 4: The Fun Part: Play and Social Skills
This session discusses how to practice play and social skills at home. Learn how to teach your child sharing, turn taking, and joint attention through natural play opportunities.

Virtual Autism Consultant Training Series
Multi-Part Online Workshop Series
We are excited to continue to offer this annual training in a virtual format. Prior to the 2020-21 school year, our New ASD Consultant/Specialist trainings were offered in-person to provide orientation, information, and resources on topics of interest for new autism consultants and/or specialists. It is also an opportunity to meet and collaborate with colleagues in the same position throughout the state. Continuing virtually will allow us to meet more frequently. It will also allow us to collaborate not only with our first year “new” autism specialists/consultants, but also with those ASD consultant/specialists looking for a refresher on content or for new information as many districts/programs are now supporting remote, hybrid and blended learning opportunities for students. You are required to register individually and can join for just a few, or for all 8 sessions!
