Dear Ms. Riggs and Gilbert:

The Greater Atlanta Chapter of the Autism Society is indeed putting
together such a training for parents of newly diagnosed children on
the spectrum. It is being organized by Cindy Pike Cindy2006@...
at ASA and is to include a broad range of professionals and parents in
order to cover assessment, treatment, funding, rights, and other areas
to help orient parents. We have been asked to do several talks and
have agreed to do whatever we can to support this project.

Cindy is a terrific person and very enthusiastic - I am certain that
she will be more than happy to answer any questions that she can about
this project. My understanding is that the first session is to happen
in November but I do not recall being given a firm date as of yet.

-RWM

it was presented by the Marcus Institute in Atlanta. Here is their web
