The Hidden Curriculum Series: Promoting Internet Safety for Individuals with Autism

Our next Hidden Curriculum topic will be about Internet Safety!

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurological disorder that

affects social communication and language. The most basic detail to a

social situation usually needs to be "taught"  to a person on the

spectrum. 

If you are saying phrases such as:

  • I shouldn't have to tell you, but...
  • It should be obvious that...
  • Everyone knows that...
  • No one ever...
Then the Hidden Curriculum has been violated.

This FREE
seminar will focus on issues regarding the hidden rules of

Internet/Social Media use. We will cover basic things people on the

spectrum should and should NOT do to avoid legal issues in the future.
