ADVANCED workshops in SC, GA, NC area?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I am still trying to work this out.

I was very excited to see that there are some wonderful

conferences happening in GA (Partington is giving a 3 day

intro conference in atlanta) and two SLPs are speaking

at the FEAT of NC conference. However, I still feel as

though there just has to be parents in the upper portion

of the ABLLS or the last bit of their Lovaas programs

who don't need another intro workshop or " this is the basics

of ABA " .

If you live close to the Clemson, SC area (atlanta, charlotte,

etc) and think that you would like to attend a conference that

deals with upper level stuff in language and social skills

(beyond social stories!) then please email me at

mailto: eahcsc@...

I have a list of questions that I would like to know. I have

spoken with McGreevy and he actually recommended that

I try Sundberg or Carbone first. I am also considering some

NON-ABA speakers to do " small workshops " such as Nowicki

on Nonverbal Language disorders, etc in addition to a " MAIN "

ABA speaker on advanced skills.

Here is a list of questions that I would like to know. I need

to know how many people would even attend. I need at least 30

to make it economically feasible for someone like McGreevy to come.

1. Would you be likely to attend a 2 day conference?

2. What specifics of the upper portion of the ABLLS or

ABA would you like addressed in terms of language?

3. What specifics would you like addressed in social skills?

4. Is there a speaker that you believe is well suited to

address those 'last nine yards' of ABA?

5. Would you be willing to pay up to 125 dollars for such a

two day conference? (I really want to see how to keep the prices

lower as I assume many of us who have done ABA a while must

be in debt!!)

6. Any other ideas and thoughts.

7. You want your name on a contact list to hear of developments.

I honestly feel that our needs as parents and professionals

are not yet being served in this area. Perhaps I am wrong

but rather than complain about it year after year, I thought

maybe I would actually practice what I preach.

Please email me privately if you can.

Thanks,
