1 Southern Maine Autism Conference April 7, 2018 Concurrent Sessions SESSION I: 11:00 AM to 12:15 PM Comprehensive Services for Students with Autism in Public Schools Presented by: Christine Morse, BCBA, The New England Center for Children Location: Whaleback Intended Audience: School administrators, Professionals, Parents Presentation Content Specific To: Children This workshop will address the critical elements of successful, comprehensive, and collaborative programs of education for students with autism. One such model will be detailed. Participants should have a basic working knowledge of services provided in education programs for children with autism. Christine Morse is the Director of Public School Services (NH/VT) for NECC. In that role, she oversees the start-up and implementation of public school-based ABA classrooms in partnership with school districts. She has been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) since 2001 and has worked with students with autism and developmental disabilities for since Our Seven Senses Presented by: Kelly Purinton, LCPC/C, MA, Marcena Coaching Location: Cumberland Intended Audience: Parents, Caregivers, Professionals This talk is an introduction to our seven sensory systems and homeostasis, (our somatic - and sometimes unconscious - attempts to find sensory balance). Hyper-sensitive and hypo-sensitive responses will be explained, which is the real key to interpreting sensory-based meltdowns and reactions. This talk is a (low key, non-invasive, non-triggering) workshop designed so the participants can recognize their own (and others') sensory responses. Learner Outcomes: 1. Identity the Seven Sensory Systems, and Hyper-sensitive and Hypo-sensitive responses in each. 2. Differentiate between obstinate behavior and a sensory reaction. 3. For neurologically typical persons: Identify their own sensory reactions so they can (hopefully) personally relate to the overwhelm of the person with Autism. 4. Identify and employ methods of reducing Sensory Overwhelm.
2 Kelly Purington is a mother of two adult sons on the Spectrum. She holds a Master of Psychology and teaches Psychology at the college level. Her specialty is Developmental Psychology, where she focuses on partnering with children at each stage of their development.

In her spare time she studies, and reads, the Tarot. Social Stories and Tough Topics (please note that this session will be repeated during Session 2) Presented by: Carol Gray, Consultant to Individuals with Autism and Founder, Team Social Stories and Social Stories Satellite Schools and Services Location: Ballroom Social Stories are used day to day in a variety of ways to meaningfully teach, inform, applaud, and reassure children, adolescents, or adults. Occasionally we encounter tough topics that seem to be impossible to address with the characteristically positive, literally accurate, and honest format of a Social Story. A topic may seem too abstract or elusive, like stereotypes and white lies; or evoke emotions that stop us in our tracks, like amputation or the death of a parent or loved one. Even an experienced Social Story author may be overwhelmed by the urgent need and number of topics following a hurricane, earthquake, wildfires, or other natural disaster or tragedy. This presentation uses lecture, case examples, and short activities to share helpful Social Story strategies for the most challenging topics. Participants will be able to list five ideas to keep pens moving and fingers typing when the writing gets tough. Carol Gray, Consultant to Children, Adolescents, and Adults with Autism, provides support via workshops and presentations, information, referral, resources, and direct services to individuals with autism, their families, and professionals who work on their behalf. She is an internationally sought-after keynote and seminar speaker, and has completed over one thousand presentations. Carol is best known for the development of Social Stories, a respected evidence-based practice used worldwide with people with autism of all ages. Carol began writing stories in 1989 for her students to share information with them that they seemed to be missing, information that so many of us take for granted. Many of the stories resulted in immediate and marked improvement in her students responses to daily events and interactions. Carol has received many awards for her international contribution to the education and welfare of children, adolescents, and adults with autism. These include Social Thinking s Lifetime Achievement Award (2015), Learning Spring School s Spectrum Award (2012), the Autism Society of America s Education Book of the Year (The New Social Story Book: Revised and Expanded 10th Anniversary Edition (2009), and the Barbara Lipinski Award (Lansing, Michigan, 2005).

Three Peas in a Pod Navigating Social Relationships Presented by: Eric Campbell, Senior Program Director, Spurwink, and Sheri Sastre, Lead Residential Consultant, Spurwink Location: Ballroom Intended Audience: Parents, Caregivers, and Professionals Social interactions can be particularly challenging for children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
