The Centre is delighted to host a webinar by Joan McDonald as part of its series presented by autistic adults and internationally renowned speakers.
Joan brings insight and warmth in discussing how autistic students can be self-advocates, and how teachers can best support their students in the classroom.
In ‘Autism – Behind the Label’, Joan will consider the effects of autistic thinking on self-regulation, wellbeing and learning style. Using information from neuroscience, she will examine emotional development and the importance of co-regulation with autistic learners.
Joan will look at ways of exploring autistic identity in a positive but realistic manner, to lead students to better understand themselves and to be able to more effectively self-advocate. Ideas for using autistic focussed thinking to enhance access to the curriculum will be explored.
