INTERNAL PD INFO: Autism Summer Professional Learning Opportunity

ADE/ESS and STAR Autism Support are collaborating to offer PEAs free resources, in-person and virtual professional learning, and additional coaching and technical assistance this summer.

2-Day STAR Comprehensive Workshop 

This comprehensive two-day workshop provides participants with detailed examples and practice activities on implementing the evidence-based practices identified in the National Standards Report (2009). The STAR Program (Arick, Loos, Falco, and Krug, 2015), a research-based curriculum, is used to provide examples. Appropriate content connected to the State Standards is presented, and detailed information on the three evidenced-based instructional methods of discrete trial training, pivotal response training, and teaching through functional routines will be shared.  If registered as a team, you will also be eligible to apply for free coaching hours. 

2-Day Links Comprehensive Workshop 
This two-day workshop provides participants with information on implementing evidence-based practices for secondary students using the Links Curriculum (Arick, Hoffman, and Magee-Arick, 2012). Participants will learn to use a process for assessing and teaching functional routines documented in the research. Extensive information will be given on selecting and individualizing routines and teaching specific skills to support success during routines. Participants will be given access to the Links Curriculum for the 2024-2025 school year. If registered as a team, you will also be eligible to apply for free coaching hours. 

PEAs are also encouraged to contact STAR Autism Support if they want additional individualized support for their teachers, related service staff members, and paraprofessionals.
