Presented by Terry Friedrichs, Ph.D., Ed.D.
In this SENGinar, parents and educators will discover, among other things, how to improve on the youths’ skills in communicating, understanding directions, and predicting consequences in basic academic subjects at the elementary, middle and secondary levels.
Gifted students with Asperger’s Syndrome are increasingly being identified in school systems. This webinar presents ideas for teaching these students basic academic subjects – reading, writing and mathematics – at the elementary, middle, and secondary levels, in more socially and emotionally supportive ways. Dr. Friedrichs offers approaches at each level on instructing reading, writing and mathematics, taking into account the high-potential and challenging traits associated with Asperger’s, specifically including social, communication and restrictive-interest characteristics.
