Strategies for Students with Autism and Beyond in the General Education Classroom
Tier 1,2, and 3 Supports for Students Participating in Grade Level Curricula
This engaging on-demand training module is framed through the lens of a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), focusing on understanding students with Autism who participate in general education classes and scheduled activities with their peers throughout the school day.
Participants will learn about effective Tier 1, 2, and 3 strategies to help all students anticipate their daily activities, thereby fostering confidence and promoting independence.
Participants will discover a variety of visual supports designed to encourage positive behavior and enhance social skills. These practical tools not only support students with Autism but also contribute to transforming the general education classroom into a nurturing and inclusive space where all students can thrive and engage meaningfully.
