Tuesday, Nov. 18th
ASDs and the House of Human Development Teresa Bolick, Ph.D.

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) show a vast array of
strengths and challenges. All too often, their challenges lead to behavior
that interferes with success in everyday life at home, at school, and in the
community. Because their developmental profiles are so complex, intervention
is complicated and potentially overwhelming to families, schools, and other
treatment teams. The House of Human Development is a user-friendly model of
human development that suggests that communication, learning, and social
competence rest upon the foundation of efficient sensorimotor processing and
self-regulation. It emphasizes the interaction between an individual's
developmental strengths and challenges and
the situation at hand.

Wednesday, Nov. 19th
Achieving Reading Comprehension for Autism and Other Disabilities Marion
Blank, Ph.D.

Effective reading comprehension has proven to be one of the most elusive
skills for children with language problems. Even when decoding is not an
issue, difficulties in understanding what has been read persist, affecting
the
child s chances for both academic and life success. Using insights from
linguistics and cognitive psychology, the workshop will demonstrate
innovative
programs that use new materials and techniques to steadily guide children to
significant levels of comprehension. The approach also provides a
comprehensive framework that parents and practitioners can use for more
effective communication in a variety of settings.
