Great Conference Right Here in Dallas

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. Just in case I haven’t already mentioned this to you ten

times, I’m so excited that Lynn and Koegel are coming to Dallas this

month. Lynn Koegel co-authored my all-time-favorite book autism-related

book called Overcoming Autism. You can read more about it the book here:

I’ve given copies to many of you in the past, just because it’s such a

practical book for parents dealing with such a complicated issue. (

from ECI loaned a copy to me right after Jack was diagnosed. It was like a

life-preserver to me at the time…) Her advice is also very applicable to

therapists, teachers, practically anyone who deals with autism on a personal

or professional level.

Also, to her credit, Lynn Koegel was featured on a recent episode of TV’s

Supernanny. The particular episode featured a family that had a three

year-old son with autism. You can read more about it here: HYPERLINK

..go.com/primetime/supernanny/episodes/2005-2006/7.html. I cried every

time a watched the episode (what a shocker..) and my daughter Amy also

really, really enjoyed it. Dr. Koegel is so warm and down-to-earth, it just

makes you feel better to listen to her advice.

I know times are busy, and money is tight right after the holidays. We are

so incredibly lucky that DFW Center for Autism is bringing the Koegels to

Dallas. I encourage you to attend the seminar if at all possible. Also, if

you know anyone who might want to exhibit at the conference, there are a

limited number of exhibit tables available. You can contact Valier Yoakam

at DFWCA and she will get you hooked up!

Okay, enough rambling… Hope to see you there.

Peace,

Judith
