Anxiety is frequently associated with Asperger Syndrome (AS). It is important for all educators who work with these students to be able to recognize the signs of anxiety and more importantly, to know how to support these students in dealing with anxiety. This training will also present strategies for reducing anxiety and methods for empowering students to learn to manage their own anxiety and ultimately be able to self-advocate in this area.

Participants will:
• Learn about the incidence of anxiety in students who have AS

• Understand the impact that anxiety can have on all aspects of behavior, academic performance, social engagement and mental health

• Learn strategies that can reduce anxiety and lead to self-advocacy in this student population
