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!
