Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Autism One 2005 Conference May 26 – 29 Chicago Marriott O'Hare Hotel http://AutismOne.org The most comprehensive conference on autism ever assembled now offers greater focus to help you address specific needs, shorten your learning curve, and bring you quickly up to speed. Most Comprehensive Questions and answers do not stop at the boundary of a discipline. Multivariate in presentation and cure autism bows to the collective weight of doctors working with therapists working with educators working with parents working to recover their children. Our children benefit from an inter-disciplinary approach. Autism One 2005 is proud to feature over 100 of the leading experts presenting in four tracks to help you make the best decisions: 1. Biomedical Treatments 2. Behavior / Communication / Education Therapies 3. Complementary and Alternative Medicine 4. Government / Legal / Personal Issues Greater Focus This year we are introducing a number of important changes to provide what we are calling a " lived experience. " Conferences have a tendency to talk at you. That's not good enough. Real learning occurs at a deeper level; a level that combines the abstract with the practical. Initiatives include: 1. The Mentor Program: You may request a mentor. Mentors are fellow- parents with recovered children or children well on their way to recovery. 2. Three Mini-Tracks: Three mini-tracks, 1. Parents New to the diagnosis; 2. Puberty, Adolescence and 3. Adulthood; and Environmental Medicine/Issues are available. 3.

Parents are and must remain the driving force of our community, the stakes are too high and the issues too scared to delegate to outside interests. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you and we'll see you in May.
