Participants will learn about limitations in the value of social stories, and especially of “social autopsies”, and will learn a template for overcoming these limitations.

We will cover when, why, and how to teach:
-true independence
-mands for information
-mands for “help”
-problem solving
-token systems/level systems
-cooperative learning
-skill acquisition in a group format
-self-monitoring

This workshop will connect content from 3 books:
-The Inventory of Good Learner Repertoires (an assessment that covers students from “very difficult” to “advanced”)
-Teaching Good Learner Repertoires (which covers students from “very difficult” to “intermediate”)
-Teaching Advanced Learner Repertoires (presumes that most of the repertoires addressed in Teaching Good Learner Repertoires have been covered)

We will draw from all 3 of these books, emphasizing advanced learners.  This workshop will be highly interactive and participants will leave with concrete and practical plans for their students.
