Group hosts autism workshop in Gold Beach
Friday, April 03, 2009 | No comments posted.
The South Coast ESD and the Cascade Regional Autism Program are hosting parent groups and workshops in April, which is Autism Awareness Month.
The two will host an autism workshop in Gold Beach on Saturday. For details call (541) 247-6681.
ESD will host a workshop on Educational & Behavioral Strategies for Higher Functioning Students on the Autism Spectrum from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 15, at its center at 1350 Teakwood Ave., Coos Bay.
ESD also can provide organizations with personalized training about autism. The organization Autism Speaks defines autism as a "complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person's lifetime," an ESD press release said. One in the 150 individuals are diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined.
For more information on workshops and support groups, call 269-1611.
