Event description
Using 'The Incedible 5-Point Scale'
Masterclass (Family)
Autism SA, in consultation with the author, has developed a workshop based on Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis, ‘The Incredible 5-Point Scale’. The use of a scale to break down abstract social and emotional concepts, and to communicate these parts of a concepts through the use of a colour/number coded system, has been highly effective.
The Masterclass will include:
- The philosophy behind the program;
- Looking at the resources;
- Overview of the program,
- How to use the tool for individuals, groups, classrooms and across whole sites (including schools); and
- How to monitor, tweak and review to ensure success.
Throughout the workshop the presenter will use discussion, activities, and videos to deliver information on the 5 point scale, that will enhance the attendees’ knowledge of autism and 5 point scale and enable them to provide effective support, inclusion and outcomes.
This Masterclass is suitable for parents and carers supporting individuals of all ages.
