Post-Convention Event Survey
This presentation would focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder from the lens of a supportive model. This presentation would be delivered through a narrative lens using real life examples of people Roopa and Rory have worked with over the last few years. Based on their years of experience working with people on the Autism Spectrum, Roopa and Rory would be covering the following topics: - Why do individuals on the Autism Spectrum engage in Challenging behaviors - Environmental modifications - we can’t ever fix the disability or the behaviour, but we can fix what is causing it and alter the environment - Supportive model: not asking the client to change instead adapting our approach to suit their needs. - Working around their idiosyncrasies and capitalising on their restricted interests
