Practical strategies for Meeting the Needs of Teens and Adolescents with ASD

Overview:

When working or living with an adolescent with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, meltdowns may occur that may be a result of sensory overload, cognitive overload or due to inability to self-regulate emotions.

Communication skills impact social skills which then lead to behavior problems. Recognizing those signs which are the rumbling stages of an eruption may be the key to preventing more serious behaviors. 

Knowing that "talk therapy" does not work with this population since they are such strong visual processors, Kathy will demonstrate preventive solutions using age appropriate visual strategies. 

Based on Brenda Smith Myle's ecalation model, the participant will be able to identify each of the stages with suggestions on how to prevent each from escalating to the next and more serious stage:

• Rumbling
• Meltdown
• Recovery

In addition, the Critical components for Setting Up a Program for Students with ASD as recommended by the National Autism Research Council will be spotlighted with case studies showing successful interventions.
