Assessing Functional Life Skills for Individuals with Autism & Other Developmental Disabilities

January 21, 2026 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM (EST)

Description

The process by which we determine the supports needed to assist an individual throughout the various stages of their life can be a lofty one. This presentation first utilizes a broad lens to review critical components to consider and embed in programs and services. The following section will include a discussion on how to assess these skills and, finally, methods to assist in the instruction and skill acquisition in these areas.
