Asperger's Syndrome and the Adult Education Class
Date/Time: June 24, 4:00 ET:

Description: With an increasing number of students with Asperger's Syndrome 
in adult education classrooms, we need to understand more about Asperger's and 
what we can do as an instructor to assist these students in our programs.

In this webinar you will learn about the characteristics of Aspergers:

            - poor affect
            - poor socialization skills
            - obsession on complex topics
            - difficulty understanding non-verbal cues
            - sensory overload

Discuss how these and comorbid conditions (depression, ADHD) manifest them 
selves in the classroom and learn interventions that you can use to assist your 
student in having a successful and positive learning experience.


Presenter: Bevan Gibson, MS SpEd,  is a current board member of the National 
Association for Adults with Special Learning Needs.  She serves as the 
Director of the Southern Illinois Professional Development Center and is a state
