UMW's Autism Brown Bag Dinners in October
Hi,
UMW is hosting two very different brown bag dinnersthis month. One is on speech groups made up of typically developing peers and kids with disabilities and how this set up reinforces learning social skills.
The other one is a SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder) Foundation Show Time Event, which features an award winning video of Graham's Story, a discussion of SPD and a parent panel. This event will demonstrate how all kids with autism have SPD BUT not all kids with SPD have autism-very important to understand.
Here is some information on our SPD event:
Screening at Worldwide Events
Parents and child advocates in 60+ cities across the US and Canada and on every continent will gather to advance the conversation about how to help “autistic-like” children, and watch the path breaking documentary film AUTISTIC-LIKE: Graham’s Story, which features ICDL founder Dr. Stanley Greenspan
From New York to Mexico, and from Fiji to Dar Es Salaam, parents working to persuade the medical community to make more nuanced distinctions about early childhood developmental delays will gather to discuss the issue and watch the film.
See the trailer & Get information on local venues here: www.autisticlike.com
AUTISTIC-LIKE: Graham’s Story portrays how Erik and Jennie Linthorst eventually found the right help for their 4-year old son. The documentary is a ringing endorsement for the DIR/Floortime approach and shows how a child can learn to relate, communicate, and think, in spite of being diagnosed with autism. It emphasizes the importance of understanding children’s unique profiles in order to enter their world and bring them into one that is shared.
Linthorst produced the film with journalist Jody Becker, a former National Public Radio station reporter and editor. Praised as a “must see,” unblinking portrayal of a family’s anxiety and education, the film’s universal message stresses parent advocacy, no matter what challenges a child may face.
AUTISTIC-LIKE: Graham’s Story has screened at eight film festivals in the US this year, is featured in segments on the Documentary Channel and Good Morning America/Health, and is a 2009 Freddie Award finalist for outstanding medical reporting. For future screenings and to purchase the film, go to: www.autisticlike.com.
Hope you can come to these. Please print a flyer or two out for your special ed dept and families who may benefit!
