Many teachers have noticed an increase in the number of students on the autism spectrum included in their classrooms. In this
interactive workshop, participants explore questions about what autism is, how it affects people, and how some strategies are utilized to
help students with autism learn and experience the arts. Ryan Hourigan addresses communication, emotional, socialization, cognitive,
and sensory challenges faced when working with students with autism in music, art, theater, and dance classrooms and offers practical
suggestions for teachers to use. e workshop will also be of great interest to special education teachers and teachers interested in
inclusion, arts integration, and working with students on the autism spectrum.
