Putting together the Autism Puzzle: Meeting the Needs of Students on the Autism Spectrum in Higher Education
September 26, 2014, 8:30 AM-4:30 PM
Student Center, Ball State University, Muncie, IN
Keynote Speaker: Dr. David McIntosh, David and JoAnna Meeks Distinguished Professor of Special Education, Ball State University.
Current statistics from the Center for Disease Control indicate that 1 in 88 children has a diagnosis on the Autism Spectrum, including Asperger's Syndrome, PDD-NOS, and Autism.

You are invited to submit a proposal to present a paper, demonstrate useful teaching techniques, or create a panel discussion on meeting the needs of students on the Autism spectrum in higher education, or on preparing high school students for higher education.
The symposium schedule will include a welcome and keynote speaker, student, family, and administrative panels, lectures and demonstration sessions, and a closing session. A certificate of participation will be provided.
