Royal Palm 5-6 (Town and Country Resort and Convention Center)
The 5 point scale (Buron and Curtis) is a landmark tool for educating people on the autism spectrum. With Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis, we have used the scale for self regulation with college students, adolescents and adults. This session will show how to take emotional information and systematize it in order to help individuals on the spectrum to understand, interpret and respond to everyday events and stressful situations.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants with learn about using the 5 point scale with adults.
- Participants will understand the use of the 5 point scale for self regulation and behavior management.
- Participants will be able to build their own scales for adolescents and adults on the spectrum.
