NDSS workshop

[Guest guest]

this is the file I uploaded. The program says it'll send it every 2 weeks,

but it wouldn't send it today.

Also, those of you who requested to be changed to digest, that's done.

-----------------------

The 2001 NDSS Conference in San Diego will have a workshop regarding Visual

strategies. The focus of this workshop is on dealing with transitions,

house-hold rules, knowing where people are, daily schedules, and learning

task sequences. Things that we do all the time as parents of children with

autism and Down syndrome.

As this was shared on the listserv, people expressed an interest in

participating by sharing resources for making, designing, finding examples,

and sharing strategies already created. This is an area where *we* really

are the experts!

I would like to put all the links and resources together for the compendium

and present it as information gathered by the ds/autism listserv (and

perhaps list everyone's names). This list will also be put in our files

section so we can add to it or access it at any time.

If you have photos of something you've designed or links to share, please

send them to me by email or to my address (below). If time allows, I will

make a poster of our kids if you all would like and display it at the

workshop for visual strategies as well as the workshop on ds/autism.

I hope you all will contribute.

THE DEADLINE FOR ME TO RECEIVE INFORMATION FROM YOU IS JUNE 1, 2001.
