In My World, Your World, Our World, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer case conceptualization, better instructional targets, and stronger generalization, not in abstract discussion alone.

During this talk, an autistic occupational therapist shares her inner world through poetry and stories about daily life experiences to shed light on autism processing differences, dispel myths about challenging behaviors, reveal helpful strategies for difficult situations, uncover unique strengths, and empower the audience to embrace autism's beautiful ways of experiencing the world. Ways to apply evidenced based strategies through an autistic lens to address sensory, emotional, cognitive, social, and communication challenges is also shared. Additionally, the speaker's husband serves as a "reasonable accommodation" during the presentation allowing attendees to see first-hand positive ways to help those with autism. This talk is about teamwork and thriving with autism!
