Conference, sponsored by Kazickas Family Foundation, unites families of children with Autism Spectrum disorder and behavioral problems, educators and specialists using ABA therapy for intervention.
Two day conference is offered to academic communities, medics, psychologists, educators, social workers, special needs specialists, speech therapists, behavioral specialists and parents.
Many topics, such as "ABA's importance in Lithuania," "Families raising children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Behavioral Problems, - their reality and expectations," "Therapy Recommendations for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder," practical - cognitive activities with applied behavior analysis specialists from the USA, Australia, Poland, Great Britain and many more will be offered and open for discussions.
Usually we run into the negative information about the kids with autism spectrum disorder and behavior problems. Just the word 'autistic' quite often makes people uncomfortable, even frightened, because they don't know what to expect. Even thought there are no ways to cure autism, a lot can be done so that autistic people and their families could live a fulfilling and colorful life.
