Autism Society of Wisconsin Conference in the Dells

 I got an email from the Autism Society of Wisconsin about this year's convention.  It is scheduled for April 18^th – 20^th at the Kalahari Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells.

Their full conference program will be available soon but here are some highlights:

·         Don’t Worry, Be “Appy” presented by Susan Stokes

·         Use of Psychiatric Medication in Autistic Disorders presented by Dr. Richard Barthel

·         The Nuts and Bolts of the Children’s Long Term Support Waiver

presented by Julie Bryda and William Murray

·         The Hidden Curriculum of Getting and Keeping a Job: Navigating the Social Landscape of Employment presented by Judy Endow

I attended this conference last spring when it was held in Green Bay and found it to be very informative.  I learned a lot about what was possible in the area of autism supports and education.  Because we are so isolated here in the U.P., I found it very refreshing to be surrounded by so much expertise.
