The Madison A Team has developed some new after-school workshops to keep you informed about useful strategies and information to support students with autism. This year, in addition to providing you with an autism introductory workshop (Autism 101), there are classes that focus on video modeling, social thinking, movement differences, and use of improvisation skills to shape student behavior. A book group also is offered as well as an independent study where you can earn 2 hours of college credit!
