Forest City Behavior, in cooperation with The Autism Program (TAP) at Easter Seals in Rockford has two training opportunities coming up:
School Eligibility v. Medical Diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorders will be presented in two sessions. The first will be oriented towards educators and treatment professionals from 10:00 AM - 12:00 N on March 15th, 2011 at the University of Illinois College of Medicine - Rockford. CPDU's are available for this training. BCBA and BCaBA CEU's are available. E.I. Credits are pending.
The second session will be oriented towards parents, guardians, and loved ones who care for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. That session will be offered on March 22nd from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, again at the University of Illinois College of Medicine - Rockford.
Many of the parents and family members we work with find themselves in the confusing situation of having a child who has been given a medical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but then finding that they don't meet qualification for special education services on an autism qualification. We also work with families who have been told by school personnel that their child does meet an ASD special education qualification, but being told by medical professionals that the child does not qualify for a medical diagnosis. This is often further confused because the word "diagnosis" is often used for both situations.
This complication often leads to misunderstanding, hurt feelings, and frustration for all involved. We've put together this training to help explain and clarify the differences.
To get more information or to register for either training session please contact the TAP Program at Easter Seals Rockford at: (815) 395-5566.
In addition to the Forest City Behavior training sessions, the Rockford TAP program also has their New Diagnosis Family Orientation coming up on Saturday, March 26th 2011. This training is oriented towards family members who have recently had a child diagnosed with an ASD. If you are interested in this training please contact the TAP Program at Easter Seals Rockford at: (815) 395-5561.
