redwhine   10 #1 Posted July 17, 2018 Considering Autism  George will talk about the identification, prevalence and presentation of autism illustrated by stories from his own experience. We can consider the controversies: deficient or different? Nature or nurture? We will look at successful people with autism and consider what life is like for many.  George worked in autism education between the years of 1996 and 2016. He has worked in schools and with Local Authorities in an advisory capacity within Leicester City and Leicestershire, representing the interests of parent and children with autism in many different forums and in schools around the country. Towards the close of his work with Leicestershire LA, George became interested in developing provision for children who were either excluded from school or unable to attend by virtue of their anxiety. He set up an ‘education otherwise than at school’ programme to help the authority meet its responsibilities to this vulnerable group. Since 2001, George has been a Regional Tutor on the autism courses provided by the University of Birmingham. In 2013 he retired from his post as Service manager of Leicestershire’s Autism Outreach Service to develop his own consultancy providing training in Autism throughout the country.  http://sheffield.skepticsinthepub.org/Event.aspx/14466/Considering-Autism  https://www.facebook.com/events/490231951348737/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
