FETC panel discusses autism and special education. Register today.

An update from the organization formerly known as the Florida Educational Technology Conference.

Greetings,

I would like to invite you to our upcoming free web seminar on Wednesday, October 11th at 4 pm ET, entitled Envisioning the 2030 Landscape for Special Education: A Strategic Conversation about the Expanding Autism Spectrum Population.

In 2030, what will our districts’ landscape look like for students receiving special education, particularly those diagnosed with autism? Documented trends reveal a significant increase in the number of autistic students in our school systems – from 1 in 68 in 2013, to 1 in 36 as of 2023. As these trend lines continue to rise, are we adequately prepared to meet the growing needs of these children and their families?

The discussion will also encompass equity considerations, as we delve into fresh data concerning the gender and ethnicity demographics of children diagnosed with autism. This session aims to prepare our districts to best serve our continually evolving student body.

We’re looking forward to an informative presentation and discussion, plus a live Q&A.

Even if you aren’t able to attend the live event, feel free to register and you will receive access to the presentation and the event recording.

Hope to see you there,
