Workshop Presentations:
The IEP Process
Bonnie Larrimore, Parents’ Place of Maryland
Parents will be presented with the tools they need to understand the IEP document, their rights and the responsibilities of the school, and how to create goals and objectives on the IEP that will encourage success for their child.
Autism Through the Lifespan
Trish Kane and Shelly McLaughlin, Pathfinders for Autism
As we journey across the lifespan, our needs and focus change. What we need from school, service provider agencies, support groups, local advocacy organizations, and Maryland services, is quite different from when our children are very young to when they reach adulthood.
Making Social Skills Less Frustrating for Children with Autism
Heather Hinkle, Me.D., Monocacy Neurodevelopmental Center
Heather Hinkle will discuss the underlying reasons for difficulties in social skills and outline specific ways to help decrease the frustration that people with autism experience when relating to others.
Learning the Path to Life Skills Independence
Peggy Dooley, Sp.Ed. Teacher, Judi Cornette, SLP, and Pam Dinkle, OT, The Benedictine School
Children of all ages should strive for life skills independence! Friendly ideas and tips for helping to prepare your child for life skills independence — including kitchen skills, grooming tasks, and household chores.
