Current Research

Did you know that everyday research is being conducted about Autism? With the latest CDC report stating that 1 in 88 children are affected by Autism, I am sure that the research will continue. If you would like to know more about some of the studies that are currently being conducted, or would like to participate in some of the research, visit the Participate in Research page maintained by Autism Speaks.

Also, as we find out about studies, we post them on our Facebook and Twitter pages or list them in the BDS Journal. Make sure that you are connected to these resources to be updated immediately.

Looking for an Advocate?

I just heard about something wonderful out of Johns Hopkins University (JHU). There is a group that is training JHU undergraduates to be advocates for families whose children are receiving special education services. The advocates are available to meet with parents before and accompany them to IEP meetings. The advocates are volunteers who are currently providing services to families in North Baltimore free of charge.

 

For more information about this group, please email [email protected].

Focus 2012 ~ Guidepost for Success

1 Comment

For those of you that have been following us on Facebook, you know that BDS staff members will be at Focus 2012 ~ Guideposts for Success on March 10th. Guidepost for Success will be taking place at Bel Air High School from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm. This conference focuses on teens and young adults with special needs and their families facing the challenges of transition to adulthood.  There will be vendors, agencies, organizations, and support groups that provide services to individuals with special needs.

 

Make sure that you stop by and say “hello” to staff members at our table in the exhibitor area. You know that I always customize our tables to fit to location. Since this one is at Bell Air High, you have to see what I have planned.

 

Hope to see you there!
