It's time to rethink autism intervention, moving our focus toward abilities and strengths not deficits and disabilities. In this groundbreaking session, you’ll watch autism expert Stephen M. Shore, Ed.D., as he flips autism intervention on its head and forever changes the way you view and work with autistic clients. Armed with his framework built around awareness, acceptance, appreciation and action, you’ll discover how to empower your autistic clients and show them how they can use their unique abilities and strengths as a springboard to success in education, employment, community, self-advocacy, and much more!
