Barriers to Literacy for students with ASD POPARD Virtual Half-Day Workshop
November 27, 2026 12:30pm-3:30pm (Pacific Time) (for BC School Employees Only)
Literacy for all students across BC is the focus for many school teams this year: students with autism who have learning and behaviour challenges present with their own unique set of barriers to being successful readers. Educators from across BC report particular challenges to literacy with their autistic students include executive functioning, self-regulation, and lagging skills. In this workshop, participants will learn to identify the most common barriers to literacy for autistic students, understand how they relate to the learning challenges frequently experienced by these students, and how to select effective and evidence-based strategies to support them.
