This 14-hour intensive course lays the foundations of the HANDLE principles and then builds upon and applies this knowledge through applications of HANDLE through the lens of the Autism Spectrum Disorder. Participants will follow the process through which Judith went to develop her theories on Autism and begin to see behaviors as communication with new “HANDLE eyes.” Individual sensory systems are looked at as a way to understand sensitivities and attentional issues. Students will learn unique HANDLE activities and will explore how the activities can be applied and adapted to support individuals with a wide range of sensitivities and challenges.
