In honor of World Autism Acceptance Month, this month’s Collaborative Learning and Brainstorming (CoLAB) event with Stepanavan Psychopedagogical Center focused on Autism and Assistive Technology for Inclusive Education.
We discussed a real case about a young student with Autism from the Lori region’s Stepanavan Regional Psychopedagogical Support Center. Together we problem-solved how to support this student to increase his participation in school. 40 participants attended from 5 regions of Armenia. Survey results demonstrated positive evaluations: knowledge on the topic increased by 20 % and 100% of participants said they would use this information in their practice. Special thanks to our TFA volunteers who presented on the topic and consulted on the case as subject matter experts: Maral Wozniak, Tatya Altunyan, Kirsti Shields, Tamara Norton, and Anna Flemming.
