ASD is a neurodevelopmental condition; contemporary research suggests that ASD results from changes to the growth and development of the brain. Characteristics can appear very early in childhood and remain throughout a lifetime. ASD is a lifelong condition and there is no cure. ASD is different for everyone who has it – no two students are the same. What may work for one student, may not work for another. Come along to this informative, interactive workshop to find out how you can further assist the ASD students in your class.
