Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Are any from this group going to the NACD Rendezvous in Utah come June, 2008? Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Haven't thought about it since we're still newbies to NACD with only 4 months under our belt...but, this could be an opportunity for a family vacation other than going to Grandma's house. The last time we went on vacation (it was a working vacation, we were doing the Sensory Learning Program in Boulder,CO) was in 2004. Tell us more about it - how long does it last and is it kid friendly for the parent that isn't in a seminar? Does it cost to attend?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 What is the Rendezvous? Seems unlikely, as taking four children on a plane is my idea of hell, but you never know! > > Are any from this group going to the NACD Rendezvous in Utah come June, 2008? > > Janice > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Last Summer, they had a Rendezvous at the beginning of July for 4 or 5 days. All of the lectures were held outside under the shade of tents on picnic tables with the kids playing nearby on the grass. They were all free and were held each morning and were on various subjects, such as sensory processing, auditory issues, nutritional issues, making program easier and one that didn't make it to the schedule that I really wanted to hear about was with regards to helping older teens to start their own businesses. We got the opportunity to try out cool things like neurodevelopmental feedback programs for ADHD issues, TLP with bone conduction, etc. Program evaluations were scheduled each afternoon (speech as well) at the Ogden office and they also organized events such as little excursions with the kids (which we tended to miss). Bob actually organized a lake day with boating and such on the last day but we had to get to the airport so missed it. I am envious of the others who got to enjoy this! We all stayed at these beautiful condos in the middle of 'nowhere'..... Eden, Utah but they were absolutely gorgeous and the landscape was quite extraordinary. I brought my daughter along with Mark and we turned the long weekend into a little holliday. This year the schedule is a little problematic as the Rendezvous begins the last day of my kids school. To get there on time, I would have to leave on the second last day of school and I am not sure if the kids have exams that day or not.... it is a little tricky. But I would like to make the effort if the lectures are going to be new.... we shall see. It was a fun time for my kids and I believe it was a great experience to see kids were are really struggling yet are overcoming their disabilities (particularly for my NT daughter who hasn't had as much exposure to ND's as Mark). Becoming more familiar with different disabilities made my girl a better person and opened her mind substantially.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Can you tell me more about this? We would love to come but probably won't be able to until next year. We have our first evaluation on February 20!! Janice <jscott@...> wrote: Are any from this group going to the NACD Rendezvous in Utah come June, 2008?
