This course will invite, connect, and challenge long-held knowledge and research on autism, highlighted by increasing acceptance and understanding of self-regulation in our neurodivergent learners. Drawing off of each instructor’s experience learning from and working with neurodivergent clients, participants will reconsider their understanding of the autism diagnosis and learn how to connect the diagnosis to the most inclusive self-regulation supports available in traditional school systems.

The course is composed of live virtual workshops (see below), plus additional application time and work, which will clarify the pillars typically associated with self-regulation, including: executive functioning, sensory regulation, and the neurodiversity paradigm/neurodiversity movement.

Enrollment in the following workshops is included in the course registration. If not taking the course, registration for individual workshops is also available:

October 6 and November 5: Ready, Set, Executive Function! Giving the Green Light to Prioritizing Self-Regulation in the Classroom and Beyond
October 15: Neurodiversity & Inclusion - Reframing How We Support Neurodivergent Learners
November 30: Exploring the Language of Sensory Self-Regulation
