[Guest guest]

TASH is pleased to announce a series of teleconferences in April 2002! The

teleconferences

are being held in celebration of National Autism Awareness Month, a month that

is dedicated to bringing Autism into the spotlight to promote knowledge and

public

awareness. TASH is committed to the pursuit of Equity, Opportunity, and

Inclusion

for people who have been labeled with " severe " disabilities, including those

whose label falls within the Autism Spectrum.

How it Works:

The sessions take place on the phone. Each individual registrant or registered

site (you can have as many participants at a site as you would like) receives

an 800 dial in number and code, along with handouts to view while listening to

the presentation. Each session will last for 90 minutes. The sessions will

include

the presentation, with time for question and answer with the presenters. The

sessions feature exciting and knowledgeable speakers and the very latest in

progressive

thoughts and supports related to individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
