Emily Casanova, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Neuroscience program and the Department of Psychological Sciences at Loyola University, New Orleans, in the fall of 2022.

Related to the study of autism gene evolution, Dr. Casanova has also been investigating a large group of developmental regulatory genes, their roles in metazoan evolution, and how they relate to evolutionary theories such as Punctuated Equilibria. Dr. Casanova enjoys collecting antiques, traveling to other countries, knitting, collecting fossils, spending time with her family (both the two-legged and furry varieties), and a good strong cuppa tea!

Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read an IEP - webinar
2023-05-16 18:00 - 20:00
Please join Namita Modasra, Education Advocate for this training on Let’s Take a Crash Course on Understanding how to Read an IEP. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a federal law, requires certain information to be included in the IEP but doesn’t specify say how the IEP should look. Because states and local school systems may include additional information, forms differ from state to state and may vary between school systems within a state. The IEP, Individualized Education Program, is a written document that’s developed for each public-school child who is eligible for special education. The IEP is created through a team effort and reviewed at least once a year.
This training will teach you how to read the IEP so you can understand what should and can be in the IEP. If you are a Parent, Grandparent, Family Member or guardian, then this training is for you!

RCASD Old Westbury's FREE Online Autism Conference: Teaching to Successful Outcomes: Supporting Children with Autism in the Home, School & Community
2023-05-05 09:00 - 16:45
Regional Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders (RCASD) at SUNY Old Westbury’s FREE Online Autism Conference: Teaching to Successful Outcomes: Supporting Children with Autism in the Home, School & Community on Friday, May 5 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:45 p.m. This conference is geared to families, caregivers, individuals with autism, educators, administrators, paraprofessionals, and related service providers.

“You’re Going to Love this Kid!”: Supporting Students with Autism in the Inclusive Classroom
Presenter: Paula Kluth, Ph.D.
9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.

In this keynote session, participants will consider how language drives practice and how our understanding of human difference can be either a barrier or a tool in the inclusive classroom. 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.

Social Thinking, Social Learning and Becoming a Social Detective
Presenter: Nancy Tarshis MA, MS CCC-SLP
10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

This talk will focus on understanding the concept of social competence and the impact of social learning differences in the academic sector. We will discuss differentiated teaching and a few key strategies for honoring and supporting neurodiverse students in meeting personal goals at school.

Teaching Emotional Awareness and Regulation Strategies to Children with Autism
Presenter: Anton Shcherbakov Psy.D., BCBA
12:30 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.

Children with ASD often experience difficulty identifying emotions in themselves and in others. 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.

Support for Challenges with Feeding and Toileting: From Assessment to Intervention
Presenter: Bianca Coleman Ph.D., NCSP, BCBA-D
2:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.

Many 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.

Rest Assured: Solutions for Childhood Sleep Problems
Presenter: Keira Moore Ph.D., BCBA-D, LBA
3:30 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.

More 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. Join Dr. Keira Moore, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and sleep expert as she shares her top strategies for assessing and treating childhood sleep.

How Age – and Age of Diagnosis – Affect Quality of Life - webinar
2023-05-03 13:00 - 14:00
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.
THE SPEAKER
Gray 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.”
