SUMMARY:Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read an IEP - webinar
DESCRIPTION:Please join Tina Beuparlant\,Regional Manager\, Education Specialist for this training on Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read your child’s IEP. Does your child have an IEP (Individualized Education Program)? We’ll walk through the different sections of the IEP and discuss how to advocate for supports to make sure the IEP reflects your child’s abilities and needs. Because states and local school systems may include additional information\, forms differ from state to state and may vary between school systems within a state. The IEP\, Individualized Education Program\, is a written document that’s developed for each public-school child who is eligible for special education. The IEP is created through a team effort and reviewed at least once a year. This training will teach you how to read the IEP so you can understand what should and can be in the IEP. If you are a Parent\, Grandparent\, Family Member or guardian then this training is for you! \nREGISTER HERE.

SUMMARY:Anthropomorphism and Autism webinar
DESCRIPTION:Learn about recent findings suggesting that autistic individuals may be more likely to anthropomorphize\, the tendency to ascribe human-like attributes\, such as mental states\, to non-human agents\, than non-autistic individuals\, and how researchers are developing virtual and augmented reality techniques that allow for anthropomorphic experiences. \nThe speaker:\nGray Atherton\, PhD\, has a BSc in Child Development from Vanderbilt University\, a Master’s in Counselling from University of Houston\, and a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Individual Differences from University of Houston. She has previously lectured at University of Houston and the University of Wolverhampton. Prior to entering academia\, Gray was a counselor for adolescents with neurodevelopmental conditions. “I am interested in understanding how people with autism spectrum condition see the social world. Specifically\, I explore individual differences in social processing and how these differences often found in people with autism also exist in the general population. I also investigate anthropomorphism\, or seeing the human in the non-human\, and how this relates to social processing in autism. To investigate this\, I am developing virtual reality techniques that allow for anthropomorphic experiences. My other research interest lies more broadly in embodied social processing. I am particularly interested in how movement can affect the way we see ourselves and our social partners\, and how this can be used to understand special populations.” \nREGISTER HERE.
