Nationally recognized expert on autism advocacy Areva Martin shares her hard-won knowledge as a parent of an autistic child and an individual rights attorney. In The Everyday Advocate, she lays out vital and relevant step-by-step instructions to parents facing the seemingly impossible odds of advocating for a child with autism.

Parents need to become activists for their children’s rights to services and learn how to safeguard those rights-both in school and in the larger outside world. An invaluable resource, The Everyday Advocate offers practical, real-world actions that work, lists helpful websites and organizations, and gives parents and caregivers the emotional support they need as they face the challenge of successfully standing up for children with special needs.

syndicated columnist, author and public speaker who has also been featured on the pages of publications ranging from the New York Times to Ebony Magazine to Redbook and the LA Times.

The founding and managing partner of Martin & Martin, LLP, Areva was selected as one of Los Angeles’ Top Attorneys by LA Focus. In addition to being a sought after legal expert, Areva is also an inspiring author. Her second book, The Everyday Advocate: Standing Up for Your Child with Autism was released by Penguin books in April of this year.

Six Unexpected Ways to Increase Your Child’s Learning

Dr. Kari Miller
Dr. Kari Miller

Time: 6PM Wednesday, June 30th

Topic: Six Unexpected Ways to Increase Your Child’s Learning

Speaker: Dr. Kari Miller

Description: When most people hear words such as “learning,” “smart,” or “memory,” they automatically think of the brain.  Results from brain research indicate that learning cannot occur without cooperation between the body and the brain.  Parents of children on the autism spectrum are already aware of the influence that the sensory environment has on their child’s abilities to participate in academic tasks.  Dr. Kari Miller, board certified educational therapist, will share with parents the research that points to the neuro-chemical basis underlying academic behavior and how parents can maintain optimum learning conditions at home and at school.  She will discuss the effects on learning of these six factors: Emotions and Stress, Motivation and Inspiration, Social Influences, Movement, the Body’s Natural Rhythms and Preferences and Physical environments.

Testimonials from Families

The conference was GREAT!!!  Thank You I would have never been able to afford to attend this type of seminar. … The knowledge was a true gift to me. Thank You again, I have learned a lot.

It was fabulous!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I liked how informative it was.  I liked the variety of the speakers.  I liked hearing from people who have been diagnosed with ADS who have been successful contributors to life.  It gave me hope.

I sent this link to all of the parents in our program – almost 160 couples.  It is exciting to give them the opportunity to partake in a conference that they would likely not be able to attend.

I loved listening to Temple Grandin.  She is so inspirational.  I value her insights into her own actions and thought processes.  She provided answers to questions that I wish my son could answer for himself.

Congratulations on a job well done.  This is the type of program that can serve the autism community well.
