Self-monitoring and coping are two scientifically based researchstrategies for improving educational outcomes in these students.The presenters will provide numerous methods and resources for teaching self-monitoring andcoping skills, including the use of assistive technology and augmentative and alternative communication(AAC) devices. This creates a foundation for students with ASD to better adapt to their environmentand develop lifelong habits of learning.NOTE: This professional development may be repeated in the future in other regions of the state andis also available in-district.
