Special Needs Seminar
On Saturday November 21, 2009, Family Time
Magazine held its first annual Special Needs Seminar. The focus of this
event was to help families find the answers they are looking for to heal
their children on the Autism Spectrum. The Seminar featured 14
expert guest speakers, 80 exhibitors and over 400 attendees. This years
seminar will expand to include Autism as well as products and services
available for all special needs children.
Please visit the Autism Society. The information below is from their website.
Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first two years of life and is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Both children and adults on the autism spectrum typically show difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities.
Autism is one of five disorders that fall under the umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), a category of neurological disorders characterized by “severe and pervasive impairment in several areas of development.”

Dear Family Time Magazine, Great Job and congrats on a informative seminar. I even had an indivdual that attended my presentation say that it should be promoted more and more needed to hear the information.

I wanted to thank you for a fantastic seminar this weekend. I was able to listen to four speakers that were great: Dr. Charles Chapple, Barbra Griffin, Linda Marshall-Kramer, and Dr. Otto Kramer. As a chiropractor, I have spent time reading the research on autism spectrum disorders. All of these speakers did a great job of keeping these topics at a level that is easy to understand. I spoke with all speakers and they were great to talk to. I also spoke with several parents, who had the highest compliments for these speakers. They all provided great information pertaining to alternative therapies and their level of knowledge was amazing. Thank you again for a great seminar and I certainly hope this will become a early event. Please keep up the great work! Sincerely, Todd Roach, D.C.
