Online Autism Conference

My wife emailed me about this online virtual conference and I'd like to share it with you.  MomsFightingAutism.com organized this conference for April 10-11, dubbed Things to Know About Autism. There will be 16 speakers who will give a variety of talks on a range of topics including new therapies, education and autism awareness.

Talking for the keynote on April 10 Temple Grandin. Dr. Grandin is a noted autistic who is an accomplished author and a valued resource speaker of the Autism community. Her works include books like The Way I See It and Thinking In Pictures: My Life With Autism. She will be talking on Teaching Through Specific Examples and The Importance of Sensory Processing Disorder. Dr. Grandin will also be sharing about her successes in life despite her autism. Dr. Grandin's life had been featured recently in an HBO film, with Clare Danes playing her.

The keynote for April 11 will be by Jeremy Sicile-Kira. He will be presenting Learning With Autism: A Personal Viewpoint, mostly about his personal experiences and therapies that had helped him. Jeremy was featured in the MTV show True Life's "I have Autism" feature. Jeremy's mother, Chantal Sicile-Kira, is also an accomplished author who's penned several books on Autism and her experiences as a parent.
