Ask the Behavior Analyst

Forest City Behavior, in cooperation with The Autism Program (TAP) at Easter Seals in Rockford has the following training opportunity coming up:

Ask the Behavior Analyst is a family oriented seminar that we offer periodically for families of children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

This is an open-ended forum in which family members can ask questions about behavioral and developmental challenges and concerns that they may be experiencing. I really enjoy these events, as I get an opportunity to hear about the issues that others may be dealing with. In addition, because it's an open seminar, we often find that challenges that one family is experiencing have been solved by another, and it offers an opportunity to share that experience. I often get to learn new things as well as offering suggestions myself.

To get more information or to register please contact the TAP Program at Easter Seals Rockford at: (815) 395-5566.

Also - thanks very much to the folks who attended both the professional and parents sessions of School Eligibility v. Medical Diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorders on March 15th and 22nd. There were many good questions and a lot of good discussion.
