Hi All,
I'm sending this to you in case you are military and have a dual
diagnosis of autism and PWS. For those of you not in the military
you can find the conference information at
http://www.autismorlando.com/ You can also attend the conference
online for a fee. Be well. Carolyn Loker
Dear Military Families,
We wanted to let you know that FlagHouse, a global supplier of
physical education equipment and sensory products for special needs
children and adults is the proud supporter of a number of military
families who have children with autism who want to attend the Autism
Orlando Biennial Conference 2008.
FlagHouse has generously made available full conference scholarships
to the Autism Orlando Biennial Conference 2008 to selected military
families that have children with autism.
The conference features 22 of the world?s foremost autism experts
speaking on topics covering the full range of everything that you
must know about Autism Spectrum Disorders Across the Lifespan.
Adopting a lifespan perspective is a fundamental requirement for
developing a set of comprehensive services to individuals and
families who are dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
This is what parents and professionals are saying:
?My life will not be the same. I went to the Autism Vancouver
Conference and it changed my life forever. I work as a therapist in
the field of autism and I learned so much and gained so many
resources and contacts that my job and life will never be the same. I
have gone from tears to jumping up and down so many times today.?
If you are a military family in need of this support, contact Autism
Today at 1-866-9AUTISM to receive your full conference scholarship.
Note there are a limited number of sponsorships available, so respond
quickly to this email.
Sincerely,
Karen Simmons
Founder, Autism Today
Autism Today founder, Karen Simmons, was in the United States Air
Force stationed in Panama City, Florida, while working as a Medical
Service Specialist caring for children with special needs. Ms.
Simmons can certainly relate to many of the issues facing special
needs families, as she too felt this impact during the time she
served as well as with her own child with autism.
