FEATURED SPEAKERS
What is Social Attention and What’s it got to do with Friendship and Reading and Comprehension and Anxiety?– Michelle Garcia Winner, M.A., CCC-SLP, Saturday Keynote
Spinning INTO Control: Identifying Triggers and Creating Strategies for Managing Regulation – Denna Gassner, LMSW, Sunday Keynote
No
thing exhausts and depletes the person with autism more than being unable to regulate one’s system. In this presentation, we will discuss the emotional, sensory, physical and psychological challenges related to regulation and how we can use schedules, priming and regulation strategies to limit dysregulation to maximize productivity and personal wellness.
Dena Gassner is a Master’s degreed social worker who provides training and consultation to families in navigating transition needs including Social Security, Vocational Rehabilitation and Food Stamps. She also helps families whose beloveds are attempting to understand and integrate their diagnosis. She is an award-winning advocate, writer and nationally recognized training specialist who seeks to achieve a life of authenticity not by growing out of her diagnosis but by letting it embrace her.
