Breaking Barriers for Autism Spectrum Disorders: Why Students with ASD Need SEL - and Why It's Time to Act

Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often face unique social and emotional challenges, yet Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) remains an untapped resource in autism education. This panel discussion, moderated by Dr. Christina Whalen, brings together three leading experts in autism and social skills development to explore why SEL is essential for building social connections, emotional regulation, and lifelong success for autistic students.

Attendees will gain research-backed insights, practical strategies, and real-world applications for integrating SEL into autism support programs. Whether you’re an educator, administrator, or mental health professional, this session will provide the tools and knowledge needed to bridge the gap between SEL and autism education—because the time to act is now.
