Beyond the behavioral and biomedical lenses through which autism is commonly viewed, this course will explore and help develop the high level of curiosity and creativity needed to successfully navigate a social emotional relationship with a person who has autism.  Participants will explore various commonly held views, beliefs and myths about autism, and will experience a unique and integrative hands-on approach to the social-relational aspects of working with parents and children with autism.  Participants will reflect upon case studies, anecdotes, and real-life interactions, and have the opportunity to examine and reflect upon the internal attitudes, beliefs and perceptions they hold about themselves and the children, parents and teachers in the world of autism and the influence on behavior.  Participants will cultivate an internal sense of freedom, joy and ease when working with those on the spectrum we call Autism.
