I will be teaching how to "use" motivators and increase social teaching to promote learning and success for the student with autism and their peers in a win-win situation within the classroom. This presentation is more geared to educators, but can be beneficial to parents and other professionals as well. Baiting the hook is designed for supporting the school aged child and helping educators understand how to interpret our attempts to communicate our needs. I hope to bring to awareness how to correctly use the "baits" we are expressing as tools for a win/win situation and successful outcome. And how to enhance the enviroment to decrease sensory overload and increase attending skills. How to modify the environement in a creative way so that the child of autism is more included than excluded in the classroom setting. And lastly, how to build a mutual functional relationship from peers to the child of autism, and from the child of autism to their peers/ my examples of true life situations within the educational setting, will be based off a young girl with autism, as well as in part my own childhood memories.

this presentation was inspired by, "Ali" who is my sunshine girl. The poem titled: My SunShine Girl, can be seen on page 68, in my book titled: "Reflections of self", which also will be for sale at the vendors tables.
