I thought this event might be of interest to SLPs working in Montgomery County, with diploma bound students on the autism spectrum.  The presentation is for professionals as well as parents.  Please share this with other folks you think might be interested.

Public Invited to Panel Presentation on MCPS Educational Placements and
Services for Diploma-bound Students on the Autism Spectrum

Partnership for Extraordinary Minds, a new nonprofit that promotes,
supports, and advocates for the education of diploma-bound students on the
autism spectrum is sponsoring its first event, a collaboration with
Montgomery County Public Schools.

Date: Thursday April 23rd
Time: 6:30 p.m. Refreshments; 7:00-9:00 p.m. Presentation
Location: Twinbrook Library, 202 Meadow Hall Drive, Rockville, 20851

There is no charge to attend and parking is free.

Learn about new placements planned for next year, as well as programs that
already exist within MCPS. Administrators from Montgomery County Public
Schools will present the educational placements and services in grades K-12
that are considered for children with Asperger's Syndrome, High-Functioning
Autism, and PDD-NOS. It is crucial for parents to have this information in
order to make informed decisions about their child's education.
