The Power to Spring
Up (2009)
— Who says that students with disabilities
can’t go to college?
Why should education
stop after high school?
The Power to Spring Up
shows that postsecondary learning is both
possible and rewarding
for students with significant disabilities.

First Steps In Intervention With Your
Child With Autism
(2009)
— Dr. Tantam's book
—”One of the major difficulties for a child with
autism is developing social empathy in the same
way as their peers. The
earlier this problem is
addressed, the more effectively these skills can
be improved. This book
champions initial intervention with young children, but the practical
ideas and strategies can
also be usefully applied to
children of school age if
they are at an early stage
of communication.”
takes us through a fascinating tour of a world
where social experience is essentially the
co-creation of people
engaged in fast, broad,
and essentially nonverbal inter-action. Words
are slow, linear, and
often obfuscate rather
than illuminate others'
intentions. This vastly
neglected area of research is also likely the
single greatest challenge for individuals
with autism.

Poems to Learn to
Read By (2005)
Alphabet Kids: From
ADD to Zellweger
Syndrome (2009)
— “By interweaving
original poetry and
imaginative suggestions
for literacy-linked curriculum development,
Betty Bardige and
Marily Segal foster an
appreciation of children’s keen powers of
observation, their curiosity, and their delight
in language.”
— Alphabet Kids have
disorders that are often concurrent, interconnected or mistaken
for one another, for
example, the freguent
combination of ASD,
OCD, SID and ADHDhence, 'Alphabet Kids'.
If a doctor only diagnoses one condition, he
or she may have
missed others. As the
rates of these disorders dramatically rise,
"Alphabet Kids" explains it all.
Practical Approaches
to Early Childhood
Professional Development (2008)
— The key to improving
the early education of all
young children, including
those with special needs,
is the effective preparation and development of
the professionals who
work with them. Written by distinguished early
childhood and early intervention leaders, this book
provides and organized
and accessible format for
building quality and qualifications into professional
development programs.

We, of course, would love to see you and your colleagues there, but we are asking
for your help. Please join us and spread the word about this fantastic opportunity! Help us promote the Autism Society 46th Annual National Conference
far and wide so all who might benefit can attend.
The Autism Society’s National Conference brings together the expertise and experience of a wide range of autism community members to empower attendees to make
informed decisions, advocate effectively and obtain needed services and supports. Typical attendee demographics are: 63% professionals (22% educators, 16% BCBA,
SLP, OT, PT, Social Worker, etc.), 24% parents or family members, and 10% individuals with
ASD. Our conference offers three full days of 100+ outstanding workshops covering
the entire autism spectrum and the whole lifespan. We provide several CEUs and
have varied presenters that cover a wide-range of topics.
Registration costs are very reasonable and individuals with ASD can request registration fees be waived if financial need exists.
