This is an exciting opportunity for young undergraduate students to see and experience the power of ABA first hand, FOR FREE, on campus. And for those already engaged in the field this could be a career changing event.

Please encourage your therapists to drag their friends to this one — and if you parents missed the West Van and WhiteRock August presentations, then this is a "must see" for you too.

This opportunity might not come back again soon.

THE EARLY AUTISM PROJECT
by Dr. Glen Sallows, Ph.D. and Tamlynn Graupner

DATE: Tuesday, January 24, 2006
TIME: 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
LOCATION: Woodward IRC #5, UBC
COST: Free

ABOUT THE LECTURE
Autism is a treatable and possibly reversible neurological condition that affects normal development of social interaction and communication skills.

Today with high-quality, intensive, early ABA intervention 48% of autistic children can have an average IQ point increase of 28 points — That's enough to move a child from the mildly retarded to normal intelligence range.

In his presentation Dr. Sallows will describe and demonstrate the treatment approach, predictors for success and residual symptoms of “best outcome” children as well as cognitive improvements made by all children in the study using Lovaas-ABA.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Glen Sallows, Ph.D. is the Director of both the Wisconsin Early Autism Project (WEAP) and the Early Autism Project in Vancouver. He has been working in the field of autism for over 20 years. Both Dr. Sallows an Ms Graupner trained under Dr. Ivar Lovaas at the University of California, Los Angeles in becoming proficient in using techniques known as Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA), otherwise known as The Lovaas Program.
