Course Description:
Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders often have mental health needs that are not well understood. This workshop will help school psychologists and school counselors understand the social and emotional functioning of individuals on the spectrum, focusing on individuals with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. This workshop will describe a number of interventions that can be used in school with students on the spectrum, using clinical examples. In addition, the workshop will review best practices in the assessment of students with autism within the school and clinical settings.
