THE ROLE OF DIRECT CARE PROVIDERS FOR PERSONS WITH AUTISM

A Webinar with Dr. Sally Burton-Hoyle

November 4, 2010

10:00-12:00 Pacific

Q & A time following the webinar

Families Together is pleased to have Dr. Sally Burton Hoyle present this important information to direct care providers who are working with adults with autism and parents of young adults with autism who are transitioning from school to community life.

Dr. Burton Hoyle grew up helping her brother with autism and, as an adult, she helped him have a meaningful life where he lived in his own apartment close to her family. She will discuss the critical role of direct care staff in supporting self-determination for persons with autism.
Autism is a lifelong neurological disorder that impacts socialization, communication, and behavior. Direct Care Providers need to understand how persons with autism may use their behavior as communication. Dr. Burton will discuss how to support persons with autism, and how they experience the world through their sensory systems. This discussion will include addressing the need to use visual supports such as checklists, pictures, objects and technology in supporting persons with autism.
