The Blumberg Scholars participated in an experiential learning opportunity during the third session of the Autism Spectrum Disorder Series in April, 2010. The three Blumberg Scholars created a poster session along with handouts and reference page to present during the workshop. Each Indiana State University student investigated and studied a research-based strategy that provided educators and parents with practical skills to utilize with the children with autism.
