This virtual workshop will introduce SCERTS® (Social Communication, Emotional Regulation, Transactional Support), a comprehensive, multidisciplinary educational approach designed for autistic children and young people. The ethos of SCERTS emphasizes the presence of positive, supportive and trustworthy relationships as the foundation of an effective educational programming. When we, as interactive partners, modify our interactive style and the environment, we can help our neurodivergent learners feel safe, connected, and actively engaged.  This workshop will begin with a review of neurodevelopment and the critical role of the interactive partner in providing transactional support for children at different developmental stages. The core developmental domains of SCERTS will be introduced along with the empirical evidence of the model. Next, the content will shift to writing outcomes for learners who are using gestures and body language to communicate, those who are using emerging language (e.g., speech, gestalt language, pictures, and augmented means), and those who are at conversational levels using multi-modal communication. This virtual format is interactive and participants will have the opportunity share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another throughout the day.
