Current research shows that the incidence of Autism Spectrum Disorder in children is 1 out of every 68. There are many factors that have been identified as contributing to this number. Fairbury Public Schools takes pride in ensuring our teachers, support staff and administrators understand and meet the unique learning needs students with Autism Spectrum Disorders have. 24 FPS teachers, para-educators, and administrators, along with 13 parents attended the 2016 Nebraska ASD Network State Conference in La Vista. The two day conference was filled with entertaining, informative and educational keynote speakers and breakout sessions. Our local ESU 5 Interim-Administrator and Interim-Special Education Director, Dr. Brenda and Dr. Matt McNiff were the keynote speakers on Thursday evening. They gave their presentation from the perspective as both a parent of a child with ASD and educators. The conference was capped off with an AWESOME keynote presentation from Adolf Brown. His ability to inspire, entertain and move participants is truly unique and well received. Please contact Central or Jefferson Intermediate if you would like further information about this conference.
