Parent Voices Support Group is Back!

What's the latest buzz in educational interventions for learners with ASD?

A parent who recently attended a 3-day conference in Wisconsin, USA, will informally share what was covered at the conference, including:

the latest research on what the "best practices" are for teaching ASD learners
using technology
what teenagers and adults with autism want you to know about them.

As usual, the format will be 1 hour on the topic, moderated by the parent speaker, followed by 1 hour of networking and socializing with a light snack.

Date: Sunday, 22 May, 2011

Time: 10am - 12 noon
Venue: SS2, Petaling Jaya (address will be given to confirmed attendees)

Registration necessary. Please send an email to ANDI.Initiative@gmail.com
