Creating an inclusive general education classroom that effectively supports students on the autism spectrum requires intentional planning, flexibility, and a deep understanding of diverse learner needs. This session will provide educators with practical, classroom-ready strategies to support students academically, behaviorally, and socially while maintaining high expectations for all learners. Participants will explore evidence-based approaches such as structured supports, visual systems, proactive behavior strategies, and peer engagement techniques that promote independence and meaningful participation. Through real-world examples and actionable tools, teachers will leave better equipped to foster inclusive environments where students on the autism spectrum can thrive alongside their peers.
