Co-authors, SCERTS Model

 

This virtual workshop will introduce SCERTS® (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, Transactional Support), a comprehensive, multidisciplinary educational framework designed for learners with autism and social emotional learning differences. This workshop will begin with an introduction of the neurodevelopmental foundation of SCERTS, a discussion of the empirical evidence of the framework, and the core domains. Next, the content will shift to writing outcomes for learners who are not yet talking, at emerging language stages, and at conversational levels. This virtual format is interactive and participants will have the opportunity share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another throughout the day.
