What a great opportunity to attend the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association national convention in Atlanta, Georgia! I actually spoke to the creator of “Rock Brain”, Michelle Garcia-Winner. I attended 2 of her excellent sessions on Social Thinking and will be bringing new ideas to our social skills groups.
The Short Course that I took was “What is the Script for School? Supporting Academic Success”. After more than an hour of listening to our speaker deliver some very useful information, we took off on a discussion of what we were doing in our schools. Many of the therapists in attendance are actually still finding it difficult to collaborate in the classroom. I left that discussion with renewed appreciation of my school.
There was lots of learning and lots of fun!
