This workshop will focus on how the environment can foster an individual’s attention and emotional regulation, thus facilitating a person’s ability to learn and interact with the world. Functional verbal and non-verbal strategies will be demonstrated in all areas of speech and language.

Academic, Social And Self-Advocacy Goals For College Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders, Julia Grayer, Kate Altman Ms, Felicia Hurewitz Phd, Katherine K. Dahlsgaard Phd
Annual Foundations Behavioral Health/La Salle University Autism Spectrum Disorders Conference
We present two studies that examine the needs of college students with ASD from the student perspective. First we report on the types of self-determined goals students with ASD create, alongside peer mentors, to help them reach social, academic and self-advocacy goals. Our focus here is to determine if there is close a correspondence between students' perceived needs, and needs as determined by standardized measures and the perceptions of the peer mentors. In addition we will present "real life" narratives from students with ASD about their social experiences and successes in college and their choices around the issue of self-disclosure/self-advocacy.

Navigating service systems can be difficult. Parents are often unaware of where educational services end and where behavioral health services begin. This interactive panel will aid in navigating the complex matrix of school, BHRS, STS, outpatient, and psychiatric services for school-aged children with an ASD. It will teach parents how to create a collaborative team which aids in providing consistency in all environments. Additionally, parents will gain information about effective advocacy for services in the school, home, and community. The discussion will provide an overview of considerations family need in order to identify supports and advocate for their children.
