Action for Autism (AFA) is organizing a five-day advanced training workshop on Structured Teaching by Autism AACTION.
AACTION is a Chicago based humanitarian organization dedicated to developing worldwide awareness, support and acceptance of autism through education & training, both nationally and internationally.
Christopher Flint and his team will provide training in the structured teaching philosophy and implementation as it applies to children with ASD and other developmental disorders. The workshop will be in an interactive format where participants will have a chance to watch children engaged using the principles of structure. Participants will have the opportunity to practice development and implementation of structured activities involving a variety of skills and situations including assessments, communication, leisure, ADLS and behaviour management.
Participation is open only to those who have completed the two-day workshop on basics of structured teaching by Autism AACTION. The training will be done in a small group open to a maximum of 30 participants.

Understanding & Teaching Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Parent Training Workshop
AFA’s Annual Parent Training Workshop is an eagerly awaited event each year. The workshop is built on an understanding of ASD and works through teaching various cognitive, communication, and daily living skills.
The workshop is illustrated with practical examples based on AFA's hands-on experience and exposure to children with Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome of varying ages and across the spectrum. The format includes lectures, demonstration classes, video clips, question and answer sessions, and discussions.
The workshop will build on an understanding of the child with ASD and work through teaching communication, play, social, daily living skills and behavior modification.
Who should Attend
Participation is open to parents and anyone else who interacts on a regular basis with special needs. Though the strategies shared at the workshop will focus on children with autism , it is worthwhile to point out that the same would be also be relevant to children with or without any developmental disabilities.
