SUMMARY:Options for Autism Conference is Only a Week Away!
DESCRIPTION:Sat, Oct. 5, 2013 -- 08:30 AM to 4:30 PM, New Dorp High School, Staten Island    Options ForAutism Conferencefor Parents and ProfessionalsAs you know, more and more children are being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders than ever before.  The parents of these children are often not aware of the various treatment options available to them.  The autism community has largely taken a “one size fits all” approach to treating these children. Extraordinary Minds Learning Center is a 501(c)3 agency that provides developmental, relationship based intervention to children with autism and their families at little to no cost.  It is the only agency of its kind here on Staten Island.  Part of our mission is to educate families about the treatment options available to them.  We believe that parents should be afforded the opportunity to make an educated and informed decision about what treatment approach will work best for their child and their family because one size does not fit all.On October 5, 2013 we will be hosting a conference, Options for Autism.  This conference will feature 5 different speakers presenting on treatment approaches for Autism Spectrum Disorders not offered to parents through early intervention or school systems.  Our speakers include;Patricia Einbender, Clinically Trained Social Thinking Practitioner; RDI Consultant:Using Social Thinking to Treat Autism Spectrum DisordersDr. Michele Havens, PhD. & Anna Coles, Ms.Ed.Collaborative Multi-Methodology Programming: DIR, ABA, Sensory Integration, Music and Art Therapies with Students with Autism Spectrum DisordersCarla Hulla, RD: Treating Autism Using a Biomedical Approach & the Importance of NutritionLaura Hynes, LMSW; RDI Program Certified Consultant: Introduction to Relationship Development Intervention as a Developmental, Family Based Approach to Treating Autism Dr. Lauren Tobing Puente, PhD.Developing Relationships using the DIR/Floortime ModelFHF is not hosting this event please contact Extraordinary Minds Learning Center for additional details.To register for this event you must go to:Please visit www.emlearningcenter.org/Events.html for disclosure information.October 5 8:30-4:00 New Dorp High School465 New Dorp LaneStaten Island, NY 10306Parents:  Learn about the various options available for your family in treating ASD.  Visit and speak with vendors about the services available in your community.Professionals: Learn about the options available to families and how to enhance your work with students on the Autism Spectrum.  Participate as a vendor to advertise your organization.    DIRECTIONS (enter your address and click "Get Directions"):  Event Categories:  Non-FHF Event, Community Meetings, Community Recreation Programs, Community Workshops, Important FHF Click ICAL or  Google Calendar to add this event to your calendar.
