Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 If you have ever wondered what it would take for your district to use ABA, please attend this meeting. It should be a great opportunity for everyone to share their ideas about how to create quality public school autism programs which use ABA. -Geraldine May 2008 FEAT-Houston Meeting Date: Thursday, May 8, 2008 Time: 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Topic: ABA & Public Schools Round Table Discussion Please join us for an important discussion about the use of ABA in public schools. The format of the meeting will be a moderated round-table discussion. Feedback from this meeting will be used to inform decisions about how FEAT-Houston can support and promote the use of ABA in public schools. FEAT-Houston is exploring the possibility of creating public schools grants. In order to establish areas of funding priority, it would be helpful to hear from parents about their children's needs and from educators about the barriers they face in improving educational programming for students with autism. We hope to have a constructive exchange of information which will help both parents and educators become collaborators in improving educational programming for students with autism. The topics which will be discussed include: 1. How can the use of ABA be developed in public schools? 2. What are the barriers to developing ABA programs in public schools? 3. How can public schools expand the capacity to provide ABA to more students with autism? 4. How can public schools gauge the success of educational programming for students with autism? Location: Gee Center, 3599 Westcenter Drive, Phone: . Directions: Take the Richmond exit off Beltway 8. Turn onto Richmond east of the Beltway. The first street you can turn at will be Westcenter. Turn south onto Westcenter and drive only about a block and the Community Center will be on the left. If you have a specific question or experience you would like to discuss but are not sure about sharing it " live " at the meeting, please e-mail it in advance to gbliss1@...

Texas Autism Advocacy: www.TexasAutismAdvocacy.org " There are some aspects of a person's life that we have no right to compromise. We cannot negotiate the size of an institution. No one should live in one. We cannot debate who should get an inclusive education. Everyone should.
