Comprehension-Primary Grades; The Key Comprehension Routine from Keys to Literacy
with Colleen Yasenchock
The workshop will include an overview of comprehension strategies and activities for grades K-3, emphasizing integration of listening, reading, and writing as students develop their ability to think about, organize, and communicate their understanding of what has been “read, said, or done”. These strategies can be used in reading instruction and throughout the entire school day to support any and all content area instruction (Math, Science, etc). Participants are encouraged to bring samples of texts they would use for instruction; they will be a resource for activities during the workshop.

What’s Love Got to Do With it? Friendship and Intimacy in Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders
with Teresa Bolick
Like their age-mates, adolescents with autism spectrum disorders often yearn for best friends and girl/boyfriends. Many also experience sexual feelings as their brains and bodies mature. Yet these adolescents often lack the social knowledge and skills that are necessary for mature and safe relationships. Moreover, they seldom have the opportunity to share their concerns and questions with friends.
This workshop will tackle questions such as:
- How can we help the adolescent make the leap from acquaintanceship to “best friends forever”?
- What about romance?
- What do we need to teach about sexuality?
- How can we ensure that the adolescent is safe in social situations?
- What should we do when the adolescent’s behavior is interpreted as bullying, stalking, harassment, or worse?
