What does it really look like to support a non-verbal student day-to-day? In this session, we’ll dig into the real, practical ways paras connect with students who don’t use words to communicate. From reading body language and anticipating needs to using visuals, routines, and simple tools that actually work, this session is all about what you can do in the moment. We’ll share tried-and-true strategies, small adjustments that make a big difference, and honest examples from the classroom. You’ll walk away with ideas you can use right away and a better feel for how to build trust, communication, and connection with your students.
