 NAASLN’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference

http://naasln.org/Regional_2009_conference.htm


 


Access to the Workforce for Adult & Adolescent Learners with AD/HD and Asperger’s Syndrome


 


February 22–23, 2009                              


 


A two-day concentrated format that directly responds to calls for more of what NAASLN does best—intimate, practical, hands-on conferences.


 


Conveniently located near Baltimore, this regional conference will draw adult education practitioners, transition specialists, community college faculty, workforce counselors, disability advocates, and others from New York to Virginia. 


 


The self-contained conference site and tight format lends itself to ample time for small-group discussions of how these breakthrough strategies apply to the evolving economy; issues affecting the new workforce; transition to postsecondary education and the workforce; advocacy issues and techniques; webinars; leadership options; and more.


 


Access to the New Economy for Adult Learners with AD/HD and Asperger’s will feature three plenary sessions:


 


ADD and Entrepreneurism...A Curriculum that Works! 

presented by Richard Coop
er, Ph.D., Learning Specialist

Asperger’s Syndrome, Part I: The Adult Education Class
