Identifying Autism: Keeping Students from Slipping Through the Cracks
>>> VIEW THE WEBINAR RECORDING
Autism spectrum disorder can be diagnosed in people of all ages, not just young children. When it comes to identifying students at risk, educators are on the front lines. Don’t let kids with subtle signs slip through the cracks. In this webinar for the edWeb.net Amazing Resources for Educators community, presenter Christopher J. Smith, PhD described the signs to look for in your students as well as the critical importance of appropriate identification. Dr. Smith provided information for understanding autism spectrum disorder and Asperger’s disorder (based on the DSM5, the American Psychiatric Association’s current classification and diagnostic tool). He also shared tips on identifying and screening in schools, what to look for, signs and behaviors, and screening tools for classroom educators and school professionals. If undetected, this disorder can lead to challenges with mood, anxiety and suicide. View the webinar to better understand the subtle signs of autism spectrum disorder and the free tools available through thinkaspergers.org.

I teach at Hillel Community Day School. Tried to log on to your October 7th presentation on Autism and could not log on. I tried at home, but our tech advisor said that the group at school could not log on either. Please let me know when that same presentation will be offered again. Thank you, Marilyn Blatt
Hi Marilyn,
I am sorry you are having trouble. There is a link to view the recording at the top of this post.
Here are some helpful tips: Your computer will need to have the latest version of flash installed. A firewall may be blocking the webinar platform. It is better to be hardwired than wireless. Additionally you should close any unnecessary applications and any that use bandwidth, such as Skype. You can test your system at http://www.instantpresenter.com/systemtest

Can I watch these webinars from my iPad?
Hi Melanie,
If your iPad or mobile device does not have a flash player, you will not be able to view webinars on the Instant Presenter platform. There are many apps available for download, either for free or for a small fee, in either the App Store or Google Play store. Examples of these applications include: Photon for iPad, Photon for Android, Photon for iPhone, Puffin for Android, or Puffin for iPhone or iPad.
