The
Comprehensive Autism and related Disabilities Education and Training
(C.A.D.E.T.) Academy organized a training workshop/seminar in Abuja, Nigeria,
on 7th December 2013. The title of the workshop was: HOW TO TEACH STUDENTS WITH
AUTISM EFFECTIVELY. The aim of the workshop was to educate and train
the participants on research-based special education strategies for teaching
students with autism and related disabilities in inclusive settings. A game and
six case studies were used to clearly illustrate certain points to the
participants thus keeping the 5-hour duration of the workshop interactive and lively
until the end. There was also a lunch break during which the participants were
served with sumptuous meals to keep them refreshed.
The
workshop had a successful outcome. Here are the feed backs from some of the participants:
"The
training met my expectation. This is the first time I am sitting for a training
on Autism. You spoke with great expertise and passion. I think this training
should be on going in all schools. Educators need to be constantly reminded to
be creative with learning while not short changing any child for effective
implementation of inclusion. Also, I have changed my perspective about autistic
children. Thank you and keep it up!!!!" ~ Amara
"The
C.A.D.E.T. Academy® workshop on how to teach kids with autism exceeded my
expectations. It was so enlightening, so practical. The most exciting and
interesting part for me are the case studies. Educators should invest in
this." ~Blessing
"Wow!
It was an impact full workshop/seminar. The lectures was delivered with
passion, I enjoyed all the case studies, it gave me an opportunity to tap from
people's wealth of experiences relating with Autistic child. The game time was
amazing it shed more light to what goes on in the mind of an Autistic child.
Wow! I will not forget to thank C.A.D.E.T Academy® for the super lunch and
total package. Looking forward to your next training". ~Ibilola
"The
training/seminar today was very educating as well as interesting. The "Mr
and Mrs Right game was challenging, further making me feel what kids with
Autism feel and appreciate them. It was very much interactive with regards to
the case studies after each presentation. Mrs Lola Aneke was very practical with
her explanations which made them clearer, for me it wasn't boring at all...I
think this is one training that teachers should not shy away from...The seminar
is one I look forward to again and again. I wonder why teachers and parents
won't rush to attend this, because we deal with Autistic Children almost every
day of our lives interacting with children, and we need to be aware of ways how
we can teach and train this kids effectively and get POSITIVE results. I am
most grateful to C.A.D.E.T. Academy® for the wonderful experience."
