3 ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS Stephen Shore, Ed.D. Diagnosed with Atypical Development and strong autistic tendencies and too sick for outpatient treatment Dr. Shore was recommended for institutionalization.

4 EXHIBITORS Arc of the South Shore s Autism Resource Center The Arc of the South Shore s Autism Resource center provides information, referrals and inclusive, community-based programming for children and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders and their families/caregivers in need of services and education by developing and building upon existing community collaborations, workshops, presentations, support groups and therapeutic activities. Autism Services Association Autism Services Association is a private non-profit human service agency which provides vocational, social and community skills training for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities or present similar challenges in order to maximize vocational potential, community integration and membership.it is ASA s mission to ensure that the quality of life of persons with autism remains as great as their potential allows them and strives to serve the community with what is needed. Berkshire Hills Music Academy Berkshire Hills Music Academy (BHMA) is a vibrant community offering a post-secondary transition program as well as a long-term graduate program for young adults with intellectual disabilities. BHMA offers a music-infused, college-like experience for young adults between the ages of Students reside in our dormitory or attend as day students, and participate in a wealth of programming aimed at increasing their independence in the areas of life skills, social skills, and vocation. Boston Higashi School For over 30 years, the Boston Higashi School has helped children and young adults with autism exceed expectations through the methodology of Daily Life Therapy. Academics, art, music, physical education, computer technology and social education allow students to take on challenges, learn to overcome obstacles, and gain confidence from their own success. As each student grows and learns, their individual character matures, allowing them to benefit from, and most importantly, contribute to society as adults. SPARK - Boston Children s Hospital SPARK is a nationwide study focused on increasing our understanding of the genetic basis of ASD and speeding up ASD research as a whole. SPARK aims to enroll 50,000 people of all ages who have a diagnosis of ASD as well as their family members. Enrollment in the study consists of filling out an online consent form/brief questionnaire and then providing a small saliva sample. Cardinal Cushing Centers At the Cardinal Cushing Centers we support people with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities, providing possibilities and opportunities for growth and advancement. Our programs for students, adults and community members include education, employment training, transition services, therapeutic and recreational services. Diann Sespico Book: Nicol s Way Very little was known about autism in 1982 when our journey with Nicol began. Although each challenge brought new knowledge and more options for the journey, each transition, developmental stage and change brought new challenges. Being persistent and having Nicol as the focus keeps the momentum of the journey alive. Never say you or a person with autism is limited in what can be learned or developed.
5 EXHIBITORS Charles River Center At the Charles River Center, we provide programs and services for over 950 children and adults with Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities. We serve families from many communities including Needham, Wellesley, Natick, Framingham, Newton, Dedham, Sharon, Waltham, Roslindale, and many more. Our programs are organized into four divisions: Employment Services, Day Habilitation, Residential Services, & Family Support. Center for Autism Research Excellence Our mission is to advance scientific knowledge about the language and social communication impairments in autism/asd. We carry out studies on all ages using behavioral, brain, and cognitive measures. The goal is to understand the range of abilities, developmental patterns, and brain systems that may explain why people with autism have difficulties communicating with spoken language. Our research is aimed at developing new interventions that directly address the communication problems that we discover. Kennedy Day School Kennedy Day School provides fully collaborative special education, therapeutic, and health services to students, ages 3-22, with significant and complex medical, physical and cognitive challenges. Located in Brighton at Franciscan Children s we serve students from over 30 cities and offer 1:2 student/teacher ratios in a state-of- the-art facility. League School of Greater Boston Founded in 1966 and now located in Walpole, MA, League School of Greater Boston is devoted exclusively to children and young adults ages 3-22 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our mission is to help our students develop to their fullest potential socially, emotionally, academically and behaviorally. Offering both day and residential programs, at every level on the spectrum, we are the only school in Massachusetts to incorporate the SCERTS Model into our curriculum. Liberty Bay Credit Union At Liberty Bay, we value relationships, not accounts. We put your needs and best interests first, every day. We serve hardworking men and women through a full range of banking and lending services. Beyond the expected, what truly differentiates us from other institutions is our focus on financial education.

We both support and challenge people, giving them the opportunity to achieve goals in an environment that is safe, caring, and secure. Dr. Barry Prizant Dr. Prizant s book, Uniquely Human, offers a new and compelling paradigm: the most successful approaches to autism don t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual s experience and what underlies the behavior.
