The Divisions for Special Education Services and Supports will continue conducting Regional Autism Team Meetings in our continuing efforts to provide professional learning to teachers of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders that is targeted to regional needs. These meetings will be available at five regions in Georgia to include Savannah, Albany, Jasper, Macon and Richmond.

We are suggesting two or more representatives from each school district attend the regional meetings which are most convenient. The teams may be the same staff who have or have not attended the previous regional meetings. Teams such as a teacher and SLP capable of assisting with training for school systems are encouraged to attend. The regional teams will be conducted as consortia meetings planned and facilitated by our division and will focus on building capacity and leadership for working with students with autism spectrum disorders.

Two meetings are scheduled for the 2012-2013 school year. During these meetings, members will have the opportunity to share concerns and effective strategies with each other as well as staff from the Divisions of Special Education Services and Supports. The local system is responsible for funding and providing a substitute teacher as needed for each of the one or two-day meetings.

All Team Meetings will be from 8:30 – 3:00. Registration is free to all participants. For questions or additional information please contact Debbie Reagin at 404-232-1607 or dreagin@doe.k12.ga.us.
