A.S.C.E.N.D.-ER, Inc. April 15th meeting

[Guest guest]

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, A.S.C.E.N.D.-ER, Inc. proudly presents

Autism Spectrum Disorders 101, April 15th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This

useful and interesting talk will be presented by our own Dr. Sue . It

will provide a review of the criteria for diagnosing the various forms of

autism, diagnostic procedures, symptoms including sensory issues, and

strategies for overcoming the challenges these difficulties present,

particularly in the school setting. Parents are strongly encouraged to

invite other family members, teachers, therapists, or other professionals

involved in their child's care. As an added incentive for our teachers and

school professionals to attend, we will be offering school supply baskets as

door prizes especially for those school professionals. Teachers and other

school professionals only will need to register either by calling

678-300-8687 or by e-mailing info@.... Those professional

attendees who both register and attend the meeting will be placed in a

drawing for these three lovely baskets. So be sure to invite your teacher!

twenty-five years of clinical experience in various settings and with all
