SUMMARY:Auditory Processing and Autism Spectrum Disorders - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to learn about emerging research on the role of auditory processing in autism spectrum disorders. \nAbout the speaker:\n\nSophie Schwartz\, PhD is a postdoctoral research fellow and project manager for the Predicting and Optimizing Language Outcomes research program at Boston University Center for Autism Research Excellence.  Dr. Schwartz received her doctorate in Computational Neuroscience from Boston University’s School of Medicine\, with a dissertation focused on central auditory processing and selective auditory attention skills in minimally and low verbal children\, adolescents\, and young adults with autism.  Her doctoral work also focused on how we can use passive neuroimaging methods to capture brain processing from people who cannot reliably participate in research that requires them to speak or follow complicated spoken directions. \nRegister:  https://www.autism.org/auditory-processing-and-autism-spectrum-disorders/

SUMMARY:Region 1 Self-Direction Information Session
DESCRIPTION:“Everyone has their own likes and dislikes\, hobbies and favorite activities.  Having a choice is what Self-Direction is all about.  You will get to pick your own activities\, staff and schedule when you self-direct. \n“Self-Direction may be right for you if you can make your own decisions (or have someone to help you do so) and if you want more responsibility\, flexible supports and services.  Anyone who is eligible for OPWDD services and enrolled in the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waiver can choose to self-direct their services. \n“Although the process may seem complicated at first\, you will get help at every step.  First\, you can attend a Self-Direction information session at a nearby Developmental Disabilities Regional Office (DDRO).  You will meet with a team of people whom you choose\, (your Circle of Support) and they will help you select your services and put together a budget.  Your Circle of Support can include family and close friends\, your Care Manager\, a Support Broker and staff who know you well.  You will talk about what you want from life and make it a reality. \n“Self-Direction is flexible.  You can change things in your plan when you want something different.  You can always switch back to a more traditional model of supports if Self-Direction doesn’t suit you.” \n(The above description was taken from http://opwdd.ny.gov/types-services/self-direction.) \nNOTE:  At this time\, meetings are conducted virtually. \nAttendance is taken using the email address logging in for the session. People cannot receive credit just by calling in.\n**People who are unable to access a WebEx session should contact their SD Liaison for a phone session. \nRegistration is required.  Register through WebEx link. \nhttps://meetny.webex.com/meetny/onstage/g.php?MTID=eaa4bf400e42fe0fee688821c044c49da
