Sara Sanders Gardner presented two virtual 90-minute workshops in April 2024 for GCC faculty and staff about working with autistic students. Those workshops were recorded, and Sara has made links to those recordings, copies of her slides, and a handout referenced in the first workshop available for GCC faculty and staff.
The workshops are:
• Workshop 1: Autism Cultural Responsiveness: Improving Communication & Understanding
• Workshop 2: Classroom and Campus Practices that Support Autistic Students
The content of each workshop is described in the PDF “Autism Cultural Responsiveness Two Workshop College Series.”
