Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Dear Listers, I hope that you will not mind me posting information about a forthcoming course that is being held in South Wales on 21st March 2006. Dr Shattock has kindly agreed to present a 1-day course on Biomedical Approaches to Autism. The focus of the course will be on a theoretical model that admits a genetic predisposition for autism but stresses the role of environmental factors e.g. changes in patterns of infectious disease, drugs, dietary changes etc.. Implications for therapy and treatment are considered and relevant interventions discussed. The course will explore the range of biological (traditional and alternative) interventions associated with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their underpinning theoretical bases. This will include an in-depth examination of the opioid excess theory relating to autism and the implications for everyday practice. Dr Shattock is the current Director of the Autism Research Unit at the University of Sunderland and received an OBE for services to autism in 1998. The cost of the course is £99.00 for professionals and £49.00 for parents/unpaid carers. If you would like more information about the course or wish to book a place then please email me offlist at cetwales@.... This is a fundraising initiative for The Children's Educational Trust (Wales) and all proceeds will be used to further the objects of the charity. CET (Wales)operates an ABA School in South Wales in addition to providing other services to children and adults with ASD and their parents and/or carers. Many Thanks, SECRETARY The Children's Educational Trust (Wales) Registered charity number 1103766 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
