Autism Workshops

Hear from an expert in the field of autism on what it’s like to be an autistic student and how educators and students can find common ground in and out of the classroom. Mr. Sweeting is a dynamic speaker who challenges us to question how we approach teaching neurodivergent students using traditional classroom practice. He shares what it’s like to be a college student with autism and how educators can make small changes that yield lasting success for students on the autism spectrum.
