Join Michael Tucker (Region 11), Amber Davies (Region 14), and Jessica Flores (Region 15) as we explore neurodiversity and autism in the school setting. Our special guest for this hour is Amber Davies from ESC Region 14. Autistic students experience mental health challenges that often go unseen. This session explores how educators can recognize signs, respond with empathy, and create supportive classrooms where all students can thrive. This session is aligned with the Instructional Strategies component(s) of the TEA-required. **This is a virtual PLC format and is a collaboration between ESC Regions 11, 14, and 15 The target audience is educators in Regions 11, 14 and 15**
