This OnDemand Webinar describes the social challenges that children with Asperger’s Syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder may encounter while in the classroom. As the speaker notes, “Play is work for a child with ASD” and children with ASD typically do not become “social butterflies.” Dr. Norall would like to give teachers the resources to help a child with Asperger’s Syndrome or ASD build lasting relationships in their school environments.
This program will introduce strategies that were found to be successful while developing the social skills group, Friends’ Club. The OnDemand Webinar will describe the “lessons learned from Friends’ Club” and what strategies helped teach these children to make friends. The program will also include excerpts and examples of helpful tips from the book Quirky, Yes - Hopeless, No.
Some topics that will be covered include relationship repair, allies, and skill building in a natural context. This OnDemand Webinar will also review the skills children need to interact with their peers and touch on how to make a child socially successful, as well as development of a social program in the classroom.

"While the presentation was excellent, the convenience was outstanding. I downloaded the seminar to my ipod and listened to the whole course during a flight. I obtained 6 hours of ethics credits with no problem and without missing a beat! I highly recommend these seminars to attorneys in states that recognize Advantage."
— Michael Flanagan, Esq.
"I very much enjoyed listening to your course as, unlike other Ethics courses I have attended over my 41 years at the Kennedy Space Center, it focused on actual situations the speaker had dealt with and how the attorney's first responsibility is to his client and not to how much fee he can generate."
— Douglas G. Hendriksen, Esq.
