So grateful for the opportunity to attend a reading workshop conducted by Tina Bauschatz for professionals working with students with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Learning to pinpoint the challenges each individual student faces, (speech, behavior, attention, phonological, environmental, and/or expressive language) is an extremely significant step in determining the strategy to use with that student. It made so much sense. This will clearly impact my approach with each student from here on. What an eye opener!!!!!!!

Professional Development Workshop Overview
Workshops start with an introduction, teacher concerns, and the main features of reading instruction (knowing your stuff, gamifying instruction, identifying the problem, implementing the solution). We then dive deeper into each topic to uncover the best opportunities for your learning environment.
Each teacher will also receive Certificates of Completion for attending our training workshops. View our list of Literacy Professional Development Offerings below.
