Autism is a Diffability not a Disability - a thought from Wendy Lawson and she is coming to Wales. [published 9 Mar 2009] |
|
|
|
Wendy Lawson is an adult with an autism spectrum disorder. Wendy prefers the word diffability to disorder and her research seeks to explore what being differently abled means in the world of neuro-diversity. Currently Wendy is working towards her PhD in Psychology with Deakin University, Victoria, Australia. Wendys work explores the influence of neurological development in individuals with autism with reference to impact upon learning styles.
As a writer, poet and adult educator, Wendy is well known both in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Sharing her knowledge, understanding and experience of autistic spectrum disorders has been Wendy's occupation over the past 12 years.
To date Wendy has written 7 books varying from her autobiography to an everyday text on Autism and a book about friendships. Her latest book is all about the concepts of what being normal might mean for each of us.
Wendy is coming to Newport, South Wales on 20th April 2009 from 11am to 2pm to talk about the Changing Face of Autism. If you have never heard Wendy speak this is a talk not to miss and if you have heard Wendy before I am sure you will want to book again!

ASD When the theory needs to become practice
Gill Williams, Ysgol Clywedog, Wrexham
Gill Williams is Inclusion Manager and senior Teacher at Ysgol Clywedog in Wrexham. She is also mother of a wonderful son with Aspergers Syndrome. She started her teaching career as a mainstream RE teacher at St Davids, a Secondary School in Wrexham where she became Head of Humanities. It is very likely that she would have continued her career in the Humanities Field had she not had a son with Specific Difficulties. Gill very naively believed that during his school years all would be well and his needs would be met but school years became a living torture for her son and an extremely upsetting and annoying time for Gill. Such was the frustration that Gill decided
to change her career path and enter with a driven passion the specific world of Special Needs Support. This started an ongoing retraining programme with a particular focus on ASD. She leads in house training to raise awareness of ASD and has brought the school through the practical process of gaining ASD friendly status. She has also been invited to join the Strategic Action Plan-Wales Working Party for Wrexham LEA.
This workshop will focus on specific difficulties a child with Aspergers Syndrome might meet in school the case studies presented will be based on first hand experience. What happens when you need to put the theory into practice? Discussions points will be based on issues which can, with thought be quite easily resolved. Participants will be given the opportunity to reflect on their own responses and to share good practice. The workshop will also aim to highlight some typical school processes which are not ASD friendly. Gill aims to present the challenges from a mothers viewpoint but with a very realistic knowledge of all the other demands placed on the classroom teacher. Some humorous and thought provoking anecdotes will be included. |

TEACCHGwent
a collaboration between Gwent Healthcare NHS Trust, Gwent Special Schools, Autism Cymru, NAS Cymru and Gwent Autistic Society.
TEACCHGwent exists to promote the TEACCH philosophy, and to offer parents and practitioners in Wales the opportunity to benefit from training and seminars with visiting directors of Division TEACCH, North Carolina. We offer two major events a year Spring and Autumn with further, smaller meetings throughout the year.
Our first joint venture is a two-day workshop on Supported Employment presented by Mr. Mike Chapman of Division TEACCH. This will be of interest to professionals, educators, transition and employment specialists, job coaches, and parents. The workshop will provide participants with information about autism and how it affects the employment process. Participants will learn about assessment of vocational skills for individuals with autism and some of the strategies and supports used to enhance employment opportunities and independence in the work place.
Mike Chapman is the Director of Services for the Supported Employment programme and has trained audiences in the US and internationally about the TEACCH model. He is co-author of Division TEACCHs new transition assessment tool and is a major contributor to the new book: The TEACCH approach to Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
With Mike Chapman will be Glenna Osborne who has been a special education teacher and a research associate with the North Carolina Early Diagnosis of Autism Longitudinal Study. She is currently a Supported Employment Coordinator for Division TEACCH.

Speaker: John Clements

(9.30 4.30)
Cost: Professional £105, Parent of child with

It introduces SUMS in this process: the development of Skills, Understanding, Motivation & Support. The seminar also explores models of understanding behaviour & how these are linked to both ASD & the person.
Detailed case studies will be incorporated into the seminar, outlining processes of behavioural support for two individuals on the spectrum of autism with differing needs & abilities. The case studies will look at behaviour in terms of context, concerns, themes, interventions & outcomes. Topics on the seminar include:
q A SUMS approach to behaviour change
q Behaviour & autism spectrum disorders: concerns, themes & approaches
q Models of understanding and responding to behaviour

12th Sept 08 Seminar: Understanding and working with challenging behaviours in people on the autism spectrum
Speaker: Donna Williams
Venue: Conference Centre at Esis, Trefforest (1-3)
Cost: Practitioner £45
Parent/ Person with ASD £10
Autism spectrum conditions can effect the way people use their bodies, how they see, hear, physically experience their world. ASCs can effect the way people make sense of and communicate information, how they work with their own emotions and other people, how they motivations and fears will be expressed. A significant percentage will also have additional health issues or mood, anxiety, compulsive, attention or attachment disorders. Any of these things can up the tempo of a broad range of challenging behaviours not just for the family, school, community and workplace, but most centrally, for the person themselves. Drawing on over a decade of experience as an autism consultant and my own experience with challenging behaviours, this lecture will identify these issues and explore simple straightforward strategies which can reduce trouble spots and address challenging behaviours in more autism-friendly and autism-informed styles.
Donna Williams is a person diagnosed with Autism, a Sociologist and qualified teacher and the author of nine published books including Autism; An Inside Out Approach and her international best-selling autobiography, Nobody Nowhere (all available from Jessica Kingsley Publishers www.jkp.com ).
Donna is an internationally renowned public speaker, a consultant, as well as a sculptor, painter, composer and screenwriter.
Target Audience for seminars :
Professionals working in all disciplines at all levels as well as parents of children with ASD will benefit from this insightful and inspirational course.
