Autistic Support Services
Itinerant Autistic Support Services:
The Itinerant Autistic Support Teacher provides consultative, direct, and integrated support for learners, grades K through 12, diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Consultation can be provided through observations of the learner, via phone and email, as well as face to face conversations with any staff member that works with the learner. Direct support can occur in both small group and individual sessions with the learner with ASD. Integrated support can take place in any school environment.
Skills taught and practiced during direct sessions include, but are not limited to, conversational skills, perspective-taking, problem-solving, expected and unexpected behaviors, social skills, social thinking skills, and ways to improve executive functioning skills. Mrs. Szulborski travels between all buildings and is best reached by email.
