Navigating the Autism Classroom - Understanding Behaviour & Regulation in Autistic Students

Navigating the Autism Classroom: A Support Series for Teachers

All behaviour is a form of communication—and understanding what’s behind it helps us support our students better. In this webinar, we’ll dive into how autistic students experience self-regulation, what different behaviours might be telling us, and how to respond with empathy and effective strategies. Walk away with a deeper understanding of your student’s experience.
