Autism Journeys: Today, Tomorrow and Beyond

Aug. 11-12, 2008; UW-Milwaukee Main Campus, Wisconsin Room

There are approximately 1.5 million people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. As a professional or a parent you help those living with autism to prepare for the journey of a lifetime—transitioning through adolescence to adulthood. While each case is as unique as the individual with autism, underlying themes are prevalent in each situation; education, recreation and socialization, employment financial security, living arrangements and more.

Join the UWM School of Continuing Education at the third biennial autism conference to explore the life transitions of Autism from today, through tomorrow and beyond.

THE CONFERENCE WILL HELP YOU:
• Understand the advantages of a family consortium
• Identify behaviors as communication techniques
• Discover social/recreational options for older kids and teens with Autism
• Evaluate adult service providers
•Learn how to secure the financial future of people with special needs
