UPEI’s Accessibility Services and the Faculty Development Office are offering a session on March 28 on providing support at UPEI for the growing number of students affected by Asperger Syndrome. Students affected often face new challenges as they continue their education in post-secondary environments. Recognizing and understanding the key areas of difficulty is vital to providing a positive learning environment. This session will focus on the characteristics of this disorder which impact academic, as well as social success, and suggest practical and effective educational strategies. Our special guest speaker will be Marlene Breitenbach, a Special Educator and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 30 years experience teaching individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In her current role as Special Education Autism Coordinator at the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, she supports the implementation of the provincial autism strategy, provides staff and consultant training and support for complex cases. Please plan to join us from 1:00-3:30 pm on March 28 in Andrew Hall, room 142. If you are planning to attend, kindly RSVP to Gerald at the Faculty Development Office by March 25: fdo@upei.ca. We hope to see you there. Refreshments provided!
