Excellent autism seminar will be held in Savannah on April 7 called "Motivating Children with Autism to Speak: Incorporating ABA Principles to Build Functional Communication." The presenter is Tamara Kasper, MS, CCC-SLP, BCBA, a nationally-known speaker who is both a speech-language pathologist and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

The seminar is open to speech therapists, teachers, tutors, and parents, & provides real world examples of practical and easily implemented interventions that can be applied across different settings. Many children with autism live with little or no verbal skills. The inability to communicate even basic requests creates a high level of frustration, and can lead to many challenging behaviors. This seminar shines a light on the challenges in working with children with autism, & provides outside-the-box teaching strategies to reduce problem behavior during teaching, to promote functional communication, & to increase early vocal skills. Methods for effective transfer of skills from vocal imitation to spontaneous requesting will be presented. Focused on practical strategies, dozens of video clips of treatment methods are shown all day.

We're offering a $ 99/person special rate available while seating lasts (on a first-come, first-served basis) Regular rate is $179/person. We hope as many folks as possible can take advantage of this great opportunity. We recommend reserving your seats early as this seminar is well-regarded & typically fills to capacity. The seminar has been approved for 0.6 CEUs through ASHA for SLPs. Please see the registration form attached to this email for more info. Hope to see you in April!
