FECA

[Guest guest]

Hello Moms!

I was starting a folder of " things to share " with the MosaicMoms but

since my record of actually showing up for meetings is poor, I think I

had better use this new vehicle. Are you aware of FECA, The Foundation

for Educating Children with Autism? It's a Westchester (Mt. Kisco)

based organization and I am on their mailing list by virtue of attending

the secretin Purchase, NY seminar last winter. FECA and NAAR are

co-sponsoring a two day conference, November 5 and 6, 1999 (a Friday and

Saturday.) Friday's speakers are Barry Prizant, talking of CERTS, a

social/spech program, Stanley Greenspan will talk for 3 hours via video

conference and the afternoon is a workshop (either bridges to adulthood

or video modeling to teach new skills.) Saturday is C. T. Gordon, MD

talking about psychotropic drugs; Nowakowski, Ph.D., fixing an

autistic brain, Emanuel DiCicco-Bloom, MD, talking about secretin,

neural stem cells and brain repair; o Tuchman, MD, talking of

affective medicines; Edie Gordon and Rose Kraft, parents talking of

visual ABA; and the afternoon another workshop (parents facing

adolescence or augmentative communication.)

# to call is .

I personally would like to attend Friday but am working on hubby's

readiness, willingness and ability to take off (what else is new?)
