Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS):


The ADOS has become the standard instrument for assessing autism and PDD across age, developmental level, and language skills. Dr. Barbara Webb offers 2-day workshops where participants will learn how to use the ADOS to assess, determine educational eligibility, and develop present levels of functioning. Instructional methods of the workshop will include lecture, a videotaped demonstration of administration, hands-on practice administration, scoring, and discussion. The workshop gives 12 contact hours of continuing education. Workshop is equivalent to WPS-sponsored workshops.

 

School Psychologists, Speech/Language Pathologists, and Occupational Therapists are strongly urged to participate in the workshop. Additional participants may include Special Education Teachers, Social Workers, and Behavioral Interventionists. It is beneficial for a school team to participate together to develop a better understanding of assessment procedures and eligibility decisions of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Maximum 25 participants per workshop, recommend 12 – 16 participants.


Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADI-R):


The ADI-R is a comprehensive structured interview that provides a thorough assessment of individuals suspected of having autism spectrum disorders. It is also highly useful in educational planning. A trained interviewer questions a parent or caretaker who is familiar with the developmental history and current behavior of the individual being evaluated. The interview can be used to assess both children and adults, with a mental age above 2 years, 0 months.

The 2-day workshop includes lecture, a videotaped demonstration of administration, hands-on practice administration, scoring, and discussion. The workshop gives 12 contact hours of continuing education. Maximum 50 participants.

Senior Capstone Project:

 

Senior Capstone Projects, also know as Senior Exit Projects, are an emerging trend in high school graduation requirements which allow the student to demonstrate not only "what they know", but more importantly, "what they can do". As more and more school districts and parents are challenging the validity of high stakes testing as the sole measure of a student's abilities, Senior Capstone and Exit Projects are gaining popularity.

 

Our consultants have extensive knowledge and background in the creation and operation of Senior Capstone Projects. We provide several options from an initial one-day assessment and consult on your school site, to more intensive program implementation and monitoring. Contact us for a detailed information packet or customized quote.

Smaller Learning Communities:

 

Through an initiative from the US Department of Education, the concept of smaller learning communities is garnering a lot of attention in the high school setting. Sometimes called "School within a School", the SLC creates career focused clusters or academies within the structure of a traditional high school. Curriculum is customized to be specific to the particular career focus. As an example, standard Composition taught in a Law and Human Services Academy could focus on writing of legal briefs or police reports while still meeting all state and federal standards for the subject. Students are allowed to self select their academy and research has shown a dramatic retention and graduation rate in SLC schools since the student is engaged in a subject of interest and motivated to be in school.

 

As with our Senior Capstone consulting, we provide a varied offering of options from a simple one-day assessment to more extensive and lenghty consulting and training of faculty and staff. Our consultants are highly experienced with strategies to work through the common reluctance that many schools encounter when initiating such dramatic change.
