This presentation is twofold: 1) to explore self-esteem in children and adolescents complicated by an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); and 2) to present strategies that bolster strengths and embrace individual differences. Dr. Nettles will describe clinical and research based strategies regarding the development of selfesteem. She will emphasize the importance of collaborations in developing social relationships and effective communication behaviors so that all are on the same page, as these children experience adolescence to young adulthood.
This presentation will focus on children in middle school through young
adulthood, however if you care for a young child, the information will be valuable as you plan for the future. Families and professionals will fi nd that strategies apply to a range of cognitive and verbal levels of individuals on the autism spectrum.
