March 8, 2012 - Autism Spectrum Disorders presented by Dr. Valerie Kershen, MD, Medical Director at Heartspring and a developmental pediatrician.
Dr. Kershen will present on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), commonly prescribed medications for children with ASD, medication management, common questions and current research.
Your reservation holds your place. Please email parenttrainingprogram@heartspring.org with the number of people attending before the Tuesday prior at noon. If you have questions that pertain to the presentation topic, please email them along with your RSVP.
As this is a unique program specifically for adults, childcare is not available.
As an addition to the community outreach and family support services Heartspring provides, we also offer a free monthly program dedicated to parents of children diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This monthly informational meeting serves to further knowledge of autism for parents, teachers, and caregivers. Professionals covering a wide spectrum of specializations will address topics in areas including speech pathology, applied behavior analysis, augmentative communication, psychological services and community support.
Monthly meetings consist of evidence-based topics and interventions. Scheduled meetings will consist of an educational presentation and a round table question/answer session directed by knowledgeable professionals. All meetings take place in the Heartspring Conference Center board room from 6:00-7:30 pm.
