About the Presentation:

This presentation will focus both on a specific case study (led by a parent of 2 young autistic children), as well as additional thoughts generated by the idea of how connections/connectivity to ones learning can enhance a participant's productivity in becoming a more active learner and participant in their personal learning and growth.

General thoughts and ideas will be discussed as well as the steps and supports to work towards learner participation and engagement for both academic and social situations.

The age range of this discussion will highlight early elementary to later elementary years. We look forward to a healthy and energetic discussion and questions from our audience that pertain to general strategies.
