Autism Society of Southeastern Wisconsin, Inc.

One message that Kari Dunn Buron taught at our fall conference was this:
When students can’t read - we TEACH
When students can’t do math - we TEACH
When students can’t get along with others - we PUNISH
When students are lacking in any skills, we need to support and teach, not punish.

Rep. Sandy Pasch has begun circulating a bill that would regulate the use of seclusion and restraint in Wisconsin’s schools, and promote the use of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). If you agree, please consider asking your representative to co-sponsor the PBIS Seclusion and Restraint Bill of 2009 being offered by Rep. Pasch.  (more…)

Join us Saturday, October 17th, for “No More Meltdowns!” in the D-Wing Library of Nicolet High School in Glendale from 9:30-11:30a.m. Special Education Teacher Christine Slawson and Occupational Therapist Angela Schubert have based their presentation (with permission) on the work of nationally-known expert Jed Baker. They’ll give practical and useful information, advice, and tips on how to handle challenging behavior in your child. This is FREE, but please call or email (info@assew.org) the office at (414) 427-9345 so we know how many people to expect. Sorry, no childcare is available.

Jed Baker's book - we'll have copies for sale at workshop
