Our friends at rethink autism are presenting a webinar that will be valuable for a broad number of parents with children on the spectrum.
From their announcement:
School districts nationwide are challenged to keep pace with the complex needs of a growing autism population. This webinar will define 7 Key Components that research and practitioners have identified as necessary to effectively support students with autism.
It will provide a framework for district leaders to allocate resources, for teachers to coordinate direct services, and for parents to advocate, all in an effort to improve supports for students on the autism spectrum.
Join Jamie Pagliaro, Co-Creator of Rethink Autism & Former Executive Director, NY Center for Autism Charter School, for this presentation. Click below to register:

These folks are both good at what they do and care about our kids. If you’re new to this and starting to learn how to evaluate programs, or your child is moving to a new environment, I’m convinced it will be worth your time.

Augcomm New Jersey is being produced by Eric Jager, who I’ve met. He’s a parent and skilled in meeting and event planning (at the big-boy level). I’m sure this will be a well-planned event with useful information for participants.
———-
Registration is now open for Augcomm New Jersey, a forum on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for parents and professionals.
Expert presenters from Eden Family of Services, Disability Rights New Jersey, The Boggs Center and the College of New Jersey will offer process-oriented advice on funding, assessment, AAC in the classroom, parent/professional collaboration in implementing high-tech and low-tech AAC solutions and other key topics.
Come and network with parents, speech therapists, special education advocates and others with a stake in helping non-verbal people to communicate effectively.
For updates on this information-packed event and a quick video of AAC in action, visit the Facebook event page.
