REEVE AUTISM CONSULTING, LLC
LAKELAND, FLORIDA

Currently, I am a consultant working with school districts to support students with autism, their teachers/staff and families. This gives me many opportunities to work directly with students and also find innovative ways to serve them in the context of the classroom. Most of my blog posts, products and books are born out of experience of what works in the classroom and a need of a teacher or a student. I design and provide professional development for school districts and have presented at a myriad of conferences. I have presented to a variety of audiences across the country on positive behavioral support, classroom organization and design, educational strategies for students with ASD, and other related topics. My mission is to develop practical applications of evidence-based interventions in schools and homes for students with ASD. For my next few posts, I'm going to focus on life skills, or functional skills, programs.  I write a lot about functional skills on the blog.  And one of my main focus in products and writing is always how to make our instruction functional.   So it's never too early to start teaching life skills in a functional way.  It certainly does not mean it's all we teach.  However, we can teach those skills explicitly alongside other academic skills we are teaching.  And we can actually make some of our academic instruction MORE functional and meaningful by teaching and using the skills in a functional way.   Information to help you set up and run your classroom, products to save you time and energy and to engage your students, strategies for behavioral support and data collection, and information about evidence-based practice and how it can be implemented in your classroom. We are available to come to your school and work with teachers in their classrooms to design individualized programs for their students, and hands-on professional development where it counts. Save yourself time and energy by letting us develop highly engaging materials to suit the needs of your students. From academics to behavior support, we can help. Custom-designed professional development to help teachers build and maintain effective and efficient classrooms. Check out our books as well for independent PD.
