Greetings!

For those of you who were able to attend our Volunteer Party on Sunday, March 6, you will probably remember that we talked a bit about Asperger's and Autism because we will be working with some kids this Spring and Summer who are autistic. (Asperger's is a form of autism.)

Kathy Peterson found a great FREE event for all of us to attend to help educate ourselves more about autism and be better prepared for the upcoming programs. Thank you Kathy! We hope to see many of you there. Email us if you plan to attend.

TMCC to Host Statewide Autism Video Event

 

Truckee Meadows Community College will host a statewide autism video conference on April 1, 5 to 8 p.m. at the Dandini Campus, Sierra Building room 108.

The event will feature Barbara Thompson Doyle, M.S., a special education professional and award-winning author with 39 years of experience. She is known for her practical and positive approaches that give parents and educational professionals ready-to-use techniques and tools for addressing the needs of children and adults with disabilities.

For more information or accommodations call Toni Richard at 775-324-5085 or Thomas Kearns at 775-673-7209.

What You Need to Know to Attend:
This event is free to attend for parents, family members, educational professionals and those interested in the topic of autism and education. In order to ensure that participants are able to take full advantage of the training, this will be an "adult-only event." You may bring your own snacks; food will not be served.
