SUMMARY:RCASD Old Westbury's FREE Online Autism Conference: Teaching to Successful Outcomes: Supporting Children with Autism in the Home\, School & Community

Dr. Kluth will share stories of positive practices in inclusive schools and discuss how rejecting a deficit model and exploiting strengths can benefit both students and their teachers. Three powerful strategies will be shared\, and two teacher-tested tools will be highlighted.\n \nSocial Thinking\, Social Learning and Becoming a Social Detective\nPresenter: Nancy Tarshis MA\, MS CCC-SLP\n10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\n \nThis talk will focus on understanding the concept of social competence and the impact of social learning differences in the academic sector.

Prior research has demonstrated that these deficits subsequently produce significant emotional regulation challenges. Difficulties with emotional awareness and regulation not only impact social relationships but can also inhibit the development of independent functioning across a variety of settings. In this workshop\, we will review typical emotional awareness and regulation deficits among children with ASD. We will then discuss how to implement simple interventions that seek to improve emotional awareness and regulation skills.\n \nSupport for Challenges with Feeding and Toileting: From Assessment to Intervention\nPresenter: Bianca Coleman Ph.D.\, NCSP\, BCBA-D\n2:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.\n \nMany children diagnosed with Autism experience some degree of difficulty with either feeding or toileting. This discussion aims to provide practical guidelines for evaluating the impact of challenges in these areas as well as identifying the next steps for assessment and treatment.\n \nRest Assured: Solutions for Childhood Sleep Problems\nPresenter: Keira Moore Ph.D.\, BCBA-D\, LBA\n3:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.\n \nMore than half of all children experience sleep problems at some point in their lives\, and those numbers are even higher for children on the autism spectrum.

SUMMARY:How Age – and Age of Diagnosis – Affect Quality of Life - webinar
DESCRIPTION:A significant proportion of autistic adults today were not diagnosed until later in life\, a group referred to as the ‘lost generation\,’ which may affect mental health.  Learn about research investigating how age\, and age of diagnosis\, affects quality of life. \nTHE SPEAKER \nGray Atherton\, PhD\, has a BSc in Child Development from Vanderbilt University\, a Master’s in Counselling from University of Houston\, and a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Individual Differences from University of Houston. She has previously lectured at University of Houston and the University of Wolverhampton. Prior to entering academia\, Gray was a counselor for adolescents with neurodevelopmental conditions. “I am interested in understanding how people with autism spectrum condition see the social world. Specifically\, I explore individual differences in social processing and how these differences often found in people with autism also exist in the general population. I also investigate anthropomorphism\, or seeing the human in the non-human\, and how this relates to social processing in autism. To investigate this\, I am developing virtual reality techniques that allow for anthropomorphic experiences. My other research interest lies more broadly in embodied social processing. I am particularly interested in how movement can affect the way we see ourselves and our social partners\, and how this can be used to understand special populations.” \nREGISTER:  https://www.autism.org/age-and-diagnosis/

SUMMARY:Gestational Influences and Autism – 2023 -webinar
DESCRIPTION:Learn updates about emerging research on gestational influences on the etiology of autism. \nTHE SPEAKER \n\nJudy Van de Water\, PhD\, joined the faculty in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of California\, Davis in 1999. In 2000\, she also joined the faculty of the newly formed UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute when she began her research on the immunobiology of autism. Dr. Van de Water’s laboratory pursues research programs pertaining to autoimmune and clinical immune-based disorders including the biological aspects of autism spectrum disorders. The application of Dr. Van de Water’s immunopathology background has been instrumental in the dissection of the immune anomalies noted in some individuals with autism\, and in the differentiation of various autism behavioral phenotypes at a biological level. Most notable of these is the investigation of the maternal immune system as it relates to autism spectrum disorders\, with particular emphasis on the presence of highly specific maternal autoantibodies to fetal brain proteins. Dr. Van de Water’s seminal work in this area has led to a highly specific biomarker of autism risk as well as three patents leading to the commercialization of this technology. Dr. Van de Water is currently the Director of the NIEHS funded Center for Children’s Environmental Health at UC Davis\, investigating potential environmental risk factors contributing to the incidence and severity of childhood autism. \nREGISTER:  https://www.autism.org/gestational-influences-2023/
