The learning of grammar is directly correlated to our experiences in life. Typical students experience life through watching others, experimentation, rehearsal, discussion and communication – all of which are challenging for students with autism!

Teachers and caregivers can teach language and grammar skills in a more meaningful way by using visual strategies and language-learning habits.
Participants in this workshop will be given the knowledge and skills to facilitate the development of higher-level, more abstract language concepts and grammar skills within a functional language programme.

Participants will also be introduced to a variety of visual strategies to make higher-level language learning more successful.
