Helping Students with ASD Build Friendships
POPARD Virtual Half-Day Workshop
October 20, 2023 12:30pm-3:30pm (for BC School Employees Only)
Friendships help all students develop socially, emotionally, and personally. Students with ASD often struggle to build and maintain friendships and have fewer friends than their typically developing peers. While many interventions focus on teaching social skills to individuals with autism, peer-mediated instruction and intervention focuses on teaching typically developing peers ways to interact with and support learners with ASD, which is turn increases social skills of the student with ASD and fosters friendships in the classroom. Participants will learn about the benefits of friendship, types of peer-mediated interventions, steps and strategies used in implementing peer-mediated intervention and promoting friendships in the classroom.
Audience: This workshop is for employees of BC School Districts, BC First Nations Schools and BC Independent Schools.
