ALT Prioritize Happiness; Build Towards Independence Focus on compassion, not compliance, and remember that being neurotypical is not the goal. Help each student discover who they are, what makes them happy, and what their next step is on their path towards independence. Accept them, teach them, challenge them, and celebrate their many wins along the way. Discuss your student's independence as a team and what you hope to see by year's end. What are the small steps along the way that map to the ultimate goal, and how can you support? PINE logo.

Nine years ago this man told me he had a vision for a particular group of boys. He believed they would be champions. He is about to lead them to a sectional title. Congratulations my friend. You fought for this and you deserve it. @GOConnor21
Exciting news! @asdnestnyu announces their partnership with Elmira City School District, introducing the Program for Inclusion & Neurodiversity Education. It's about making training, resources, community, and mentoring accessible. Proud is an understatement. @nyusteinhardt
That moment you realize that the universe has put you right where you are meant to be: Inclusion, Autism, neurodiversity, advocacy, influencing culture, a terrific view, and so much more. Grateful for continued learning! @asdnestnyu @nyusteinhardt

Carol Gray reminds us that the goal of a Social Story is not to change the behavior of students with autism—in fact it’s more about changing the behavior of the adults working with them! #SocialStories #ASD #NestCon #ASDNest
Know better, do better, help more people. 3 days of learning at NYU with @asdnestnyu. Today it is my privilege to be learning directly from Carol Gray.
Grateful! Today I was welcomed among the terrific minds at Ithaca CSD as they partner with NYC ASD NEST to understand and support students with Autism. It is thinking about diversity in a different way.
So often we hear more support = more people but what does research say? We invest a great deal of time in collaborative conversations and problem solving sessions.
Great research shared from @LeytonSchnell today in @sd42news - What do teachers say they need to be inclusive?! #collaborationFTW

Using five key strategies, a teacher finds a way to "shine a light on each student" in his inclusion classroom, where many students struggle to engage socially. edut.to/2LuFwx6
When talking academic progress for SWD we consider access to gen ed. Are services portable so students stay in class, reaching maximum benefit of the curriculum? A 30 min daily pull out = almost 14 days of missed instruction/year. I made this quick reference guide for my team.

You're in a great place when your boss values your contribution, challenges you beyond your boundaries, has your back, and brings the fun. My newly decorated work space compliments of Dr. Carr.

Great work by this Elmira City team! Inclusive education means meeting the academic, social, emotional, and relational needs of ALL students.

Organizing my thoughts on some mini PD blasts for our teams this year. I am adding 5 Moore Minute videos by Shelley Moore because they are based in best practice, support inclusive education, are good for All kids, last around 5 minutes and are hilarious.

One of the guiding conditions of inclusive education is that we presume ALL students are competent. Our role as educators is to design supports that will allow students to access the curriculum and demonstrate their learning.

The Elmira CSD crew was a *little* excited to see these two inclusion rockstars out and about today! Thank you for a great day!

Listening to the great Shelley Moore. "The goal isn't to make all kids green dots... Our goal is to help kids find their unique colors and help them learn to navigate a diverse world."
