I'm passing along the following information regarding the upcoming Future Horizons Autism/Asperger's Conference in Long Island, NY on Friday, February 8, at the Melville Marriott Long Island, featuring Dr. Temple Grandin, the noted scientist who has autism and the author of The Way I See It: A Personal Look at Autism and Asperger's; and Dr. Jed Baker, director of the highly acclaimed Social Skills Training Project, and the author of No More Meltdowns: Positive Strategies for Managing and Preventing Out-Of-Control Behavior and The Social Skills Picture Book. Throughout the conference there will be an extensive resources/book table available, as well as excellent networking opportunities with other local parents/caregivers, therapists, counselors, special ed teachers, psychologists, etc., within the various ASD/SPD related communities. Future Horizons is also offering a 10 percent discount off of their regular conference prices for this conference (use coupon code TGCONF when registering). Per Future Horizons, this special discount can't be combined with any other discounts or offers. For more information about the conference, CEUs, to register, etc., you can visit Future Horizons' website at http://www.fhautism.com.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about this and I benefit from learning about this subject. If possible, as you gain facts, please add to this blog with more information. I have found it enormously useful. That might be a good book to try.

Very good question. Of course that is our goal. Once the child enters High School, that becomes their primary therapy goal, however there are a lot of variables involved; depending what he/she is going to therapy for & any other disciplines they may be seeing ie, OT, PT, PSYCH, etc. or how severe the childs deficits are. There are many programs out there willing to assist in finding jobs once they graduate from HS if college is not an option. I hope i answered your question or Feel free to email me to discuss this further!

Hi! Apologies for the delayed reply. I'm not positively sure what you're asking. What kind of course is your relative taking & what kind of job would he/she be looking for? Feel free to email me privately if you do not feel comfortable posting private information online Comments are closed.
