School-Based Mindfulness Intervention For Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Richard Krogmann
School-Based Mindfulness Intervention For Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder, Richard Krogmann
Educational Specialist, 2009-2019
The symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have large impacts on the emotional (Samson et al., 2014; Strang et al., 2012) and behavioral (Mayes et al, 2012; Hill et al, 2014; Jahromi, Meek, & Ober-Reynolds, 2012) functioning of children and adolescents diagnosed with the disorder. The difficulties with emotional and behavioral functioning in students with ASD can drastically decrease their academic achievement compared to neuro-typical peers (Ashburner, Ziviani, & Rodger, 2010).

Building Group Resilience: A Three-Day Curriculum, Andrew Willis Garcés
Building Group Resilience: A Three-Day Curriculum, Andrew Willis Garcés
Educational Specialist, 2009-2019
Social change organizations are often exposed to stress and disruptive, potentially traumatic events. Despite this, few such groups invest time into actively cultivating resilience practices. Likewise, most existing resilience promotion initiatives are designed for use with individuals, not organizations, and lack the experience-based pedagogical approach necessary to interest many social change activists. This curriculum intervention provides a needed bridge between social change activism and resilience promotion theory. Designed as a three-day workshop, it can be used with entire organizations to support both self-awareness of their existing strengths and the development of new protective measures to boost collective resilience.
