conferences and trainings..

Post Reply New Topic

any recommendations on where to get more info or training on NLD/AS issues?

I really don't. As a parent drowned in the immediate needs of my kids, the idea of taking time out for such a thing has never occurred to me. I do spend a lot of time reading on the internet, the flexibility of it suits my schedule, and I've found places like this full of insights the professionals don't seem to really have. Most professionals aren't INSIDE the head's of those with AS, but when someone who actually IS AS posts, you get that information, what things are really like for them. I do get good information from the OT and speech therapists assigned to my son, but it can be difficult for me to get past the professional language and benchmarks into something that applies in daily living.

It would help if you gave us an idea of where you live.

I'm in Toronto, and I worked closely with the Geneva Centre and every other October, I drop everything to go to the International Autism Symposium. Everyone who is well known in the Autism community is represented. Educators, Researchers, Doctors, Naturopaths, Aspies. It's such an awesome gathering because every part of the spectrum is represented. The next one is in October 2010 in Toronto. If you google the Geneva Centre you'll find the info.

I have several challenges. I serve kids in the educational field.

So.... I have learned to travel If there is a worth wild conference I am willing to travel.

Otherwise..... Utah/ Mountain West.
