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.
