Feb. Newsletter Topic: More Teaching with Special Interest Areas!

Posted on 08:45 by Unknown
Children and adults with autism may have strong interests in a certain area, such as computers, weather, trains, etc. These interests can often be used as powerful teaching tools to increase academic skills, improve behaviors, and facilitate social skills.

In this month's newsletter, we will continue this topic and provide information and resources about how to use special interests to make learning more fun, motivating, and effective.
