Regarding
my experience in the Super Sensory Workshop at the Autism
Conference - By Carolina D. Watts, J.D. Advocate
Last
Saturday I attended the annual Autism conference in Pasadena.
On that day I had the unique experience in participating in
a Super Sensory Session. I thought I had a pretty good
understanding of autism but I was humbled by my experience...super
sensory session - understanding Autism

Awareness From Experience©
A2Z
wants to thank Gail and Clay Wylie for the last two weekends
of the super sensory sessions. The participants included teachers,
behavior therapists, parents and siblings. Everyone came away
from the session with a deeper understanding of the world
according to autism and a new respect for the individuals
w/ the autism diagnosis. We look forward to moving the SAFE
program into the schools and community programs. Come back
and visit the website within the next week as we will have
actual comments by the different participants as they share
their experiences.

Is
your child entitled to recieve services per his/her IEP that
he/she has not been getting?
Has the district failed to hold an IEP when one was requested?
Has the district taken more than 50 days to conduct assessments?
A2Z
is available to assist parents with obtaining services in
their IEPs, holding the district to important timelines, and
enforcing parent's rights under the IDEA. Please contact us
for details.
Thank
you so much for coming to give an inspiring presentation.
The parents in attendance are eagerly sharing their experience
with the family support group members who could not attend.
Hopefully the tape turned out well so we can send you
a copy, and spread the word further. The things parents
found most enlightening were:
Compliance form and process (clarification on use)
Recreational therapist's role and services
Requirements for inclusion specialists.
These three things alone have given parents information
that will be crucial in creating new and improved services
for the children in our area. Our parent
are movers and shakers and very organized. They have been
looking for legal avenues to help make changes. You accomplished
your goal of spreading the word and empowering others
to make the changes that you alone cannot do. What an
amazing thing to be doing 'your life's work' and enjoying
it so much. You have your son in part to thank for that.
As the parents said, 'she's our kinda gal'
