The purpose of the workshop is to provide administrators (i.e., superintendents, directors of school, special education directors/coordinators/supervisors, principals, assistant principals, etc.) with information on evidence-based practices for students with autism so that school leaders may evaluate programs to provide teacher, parent, and student support.
