Wednesday, September 18, 2019


About this video

Susan K. Lewis Stokes, M.A., CCC-SLP

A primary goal when teaching students with ASD is to increase independent functioning and decrease dependence on adults; however, this can be quite challenging in school-based settings where the educational climate often fosters adult support. This webinar will address providing guidance and instruction to educational professionals/adults to maximize independent functioning skills for students with ASD. A unique educational planning guide will be shared, designed to assist teams in identifying contexts and situations that require adult support, necessitating the need for instruction and development of independent skills. Supports discussed in this webinar could be used as a NeMTSS Tier 1, 2 and 3 intervention. For more information on NeMTSS visit https://nemtss.unl.edu/about/.
