Open Windows Conference in Disneyland California, January 11 and 12, 2002.

[Guest guest]

Drs. Wakefield, Bradstreet, and Kartzinel with an impressive guest faculty

including Shore, Jeff Sell (2 ASA Board Members), behavioral

therapists, and others will be presenting the first " Open Windows " Conference

in Disneyland California, January 11 and 12, 2002. What's different about

this conference?

First, it will teach parents and professional the " how to's " of the

integrated treatments used and developed at the International Child

Development Resource Center (ICDRC) in Florida, where some 1700 children and

young adults have recieved treatment.

Second, the conference will explain the biology of autism and how to use all

aspects of care in treating affected children. Then - perhaps most

importantly - you will learn how to prioritize care and work-ups so you can

pinpoint issues and redirect therapies quickly.

Time is important to our children. The doctors at ICDRC know this as both

Drs. Jeff and Jerry have young children with autism. The conference theme is

" Opening Windows of Hope for Children With Developmental Disorders. " All

attendees receive a comprehensive training manual with hundreds of medical

references, to assist them with implementing all of the therapeutic

interventions currently being used at ICDRC.

Groups of 3 or more can receive a 10% group discount and autism support

groups. The conference includes two lunches with the doctors and therapists

so you have even more time to get all of your questions answered. ASA

chapters or FEAT groups who organize attendance can receive an additional 10%

to support their local chapter (or kindly donate that to autism research with

Dr. Wakefield and ICDRC). Couples can also receive discounts if they request

only one training manual.

The next conference will be in Orlando, Florida on January 26 & 27, 2002 next

to the Animal Kingdom entrance of Disney World. Disney has agreed to prepare

gluten and casein free meals upon request.

Due to a generous year-end gift, a limited number of partial scholarships are

still available on a first come basis.

The conference will provide practical therapy guides, the latest research and

a review of the medical literature, and will be appropriate for parents of

special needs children, therapists, teachers and physicians.

This is your chance to support critical research and show your support for

Dr. Wakefield who continues to make tremendous sacrifices for our children.

Simultaneously, you will receive the tools you need to help your child.

Continuing education credits are being applied for.
