Fall 2023 Events

For this series of sessions, participants will learn strategies for managing the spectrum of behaviors observed in children with autism. The sessions are appropriate for educators and caregivers of children with ASD. Many of the strategies that will be addressed are appropriate for individuals of all ages, but the sessions focus on children between the ages of 4 and 12 years. While it is most beneficial if you can attend each of the 8 sessions, it is not required.

This 9-part training series is designed for professionals who work with students with significant learning and/or behavioral needs. Participants will learn how to assess, teach, and evaluate progress for students across all domains. Sessions will take place on Thursdays from 4-5:30 via zoom. Certificates of attendance will be available for those who attend at least 6 of the 9 sessions; attendance at all 9 sessions is highly encouraged. Follow-up support from a CARD staff person will be available upon request after the completion of the series.

CARD strives to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals to engage fully.
