The NIA Regional Autism Training and Technical Assistance team recently offered Autism Make-n-Take workshops in the St. Charles and Rockford offices. The Make-n-Take workshops provide an opportunity for district and cooperative staff, parents, and community agencies a chance to design and make individualized visual supports for students with autism spectrum disorder and other disabilities. The visual supports provide students who are visual learners with an additional strategy for receptive and expressive communication, social skills, activities of daily living, for developing independence in a variety of settings and so much more!
Workshop participants can browse the resource library, use Boardmaker and other software programs, make visual supports, write social stories, create work systems, and take photographs of the many visual support samples.
The NIA Autism Team hopes that additional Make-n-Takes can be hosted in the satellite offices.
