early intervention centre for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Thane.

Jagruti Palak Sanstha,Thane(Mumbai) - Early intervention centre for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD)


Dear Members,

We are pleased to announce the good news of setting up of an early intervention centre for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Thane.

This project is a venture of an existing parent body NGO Jagruti Palak Sanstha in Thane supported by Forum for Autism Mumbai and with financial assistance from Johnson & Johnson and technical assistance from Dr.Reena Singh (Khushi for your child) a leading Occupational Therapist in Mumbai

This would be a therapy setup and depending on the age of the kids who register we will decide if they need early intervention or other form of therapy services to children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at Thane and to build sustainable capacity within an existing site of Jagruti Palak Sanstha – a registered parent body NGO operating in Thane.

The centre in the first phase will build a cadre of up to 2 Occupational Therapists and 2 special educators and up to 2 line staff.

The aim is to provide the parents of children with ASD an understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and how to manage their kids with ASD through a parental counselling service.

This centre will concentrate on addressing the impairments associated with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders/pervasive developmental disorders (ASD/PDD), including the areas of communication, socialization and restricted and repetitive behaviour

We request you to register your child’s name with the Jagruti Palak Sanstha’s office.

The details of the course and fee structure for the course can be collected from the Jagruti Palak Sanstha’s office between 2pm to 4pm on any working days between Mondays to Friday.

The Sanstha also plans to set up vocational guidance centre and residential set-up for our children in the phase 2 and phase 3 of this project

We request you all to make this project a grand success.

A New Aspergers Video that you must see

Hi Rachna,

Welcome to a SPECIAL VIDEO from the Asperger's Syndrome Newsletter.

======================= Today's Topic ==========================
Why Do People With AS Struggle with Anxiety and Depression?
================================================================

Many of those with Aspergers suffer from anxiety. They worry about
thing -- all kinds of things -- constantly. Something always seems
to be on their mind. This constant worry can lead to sever
depression.

I have just created a new video to explain and address the issues
that those with Aspergers must deal with, day-to-day, as they
struggle with the challenges of Aspergers.

I think you will find this video critically important in
understanding what your loved ones with Aspergers suffer with and
why so many become isolated and depressed.

Click on this link or paste it into your browser to view this video
which I have hosted on YouTube.

F. I. E. Basic Level 1 Workshop

Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment
for Young Children: I. E. Basic Level 1
A Five-Day Intensive Workshop
by Prof. Louis H. Falik,
Certified Trainer, International Centre for the Enhancement of Learning Potential (ICELP), Jerusalem.

THE FEUERSTEIN INSTRUMENTAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM [FIE] is based on the work of internationally renowned Israeli Psychologist Prof. Reuven Feuerstein, whose work with children affected by the Holocaust resulted in the setting up of the International Centre for the Enhancement of the Learning Potential. IE is an intervention program designed to modify the cognitive structure of students, in classrooms and individually with diverse populations ranging from low functioning performers to gifted underachievers, adult populations in industrial settings and continuing education. The program aims at correcting deficient cognitive functions and enhancing the individual’s capacity to learn more effectively from direct exposure in formal as well as informal learning situations.

Instrumental Enrichment for Young Children (IE-BASIC I) introduces a series of mostly non-verbal instruments to be used with younger children or children with low performance level, including:
ü Program goals and methods of application.
ü Ways of attending to the development of basic cognitive functions, verbal and conceptual tools, spatial and temporal concepts and representational activities.
ü Methods of promoting reflective thinking and internal motivation, and the development of the child’s feeling as a generator of information rather than a passive reproducer of information;
ü Practice in new instruments adapted to the early stages of child development.

For more details visit http://www.icelp.org/

Date : 12th – 16th November 2009
Time: : 9am – 5pm
Venue: HMATC (Dadar Catering College), Veer Savarkar Marg, Dadar ( W).Mumbai 400028

MISHACON 2009

From the desk of the Organizing Secretary


Dear Colleagues & Friends,



The Organizing Committee of MISHACON 2009 had to postpone the proposed event of 12th and 13th Sept

in view of Swine Flu epidemic in Pune. Now situation seems to be improved. We have also learnt that our own body resistance is more important and makes us win over any situation. We the organizing committee members strongly feel that whether swine flu, or rains, or recession the show must go on.



The dates are finalized to 24th and 25th of October2009.



MISHACON is committed to open new avenues for continuing education to our members. This year the organizing committee has selected futuristic issues. Stem Cell therapy, applied behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Genetics are the areas of interest to our members.



Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the science of applying experimentally derived principles of behavior to improve socially significant behavior. ABA takes what we know about behavior and uses it to bring about positive change in the behaviour (Applied). Behaviors are defined in observable and measurable terms in order to assess change over time (Behavior). The behavior is analyzed within the environment to determine what factors are influencing the behavior (Analysis). Applied behavior analysis contributes to a full range of areas and autism is one among them. Though it is not a new method, a lot of work is going on ABA in improving lives of individuals with autism. Smita Awasthi will be highlighting

the applications of ABA for children with autism.



Study of Voice culture will be another new horizon for our members. The process of bringing the voice under control is known as voice culture, which involves traditional and scientific methods to improve the quality of voice. Effective control of breath, flexible speech organs, adjustments of resonators, wider range, mental perception, and so on, are the features by which the voice can be trained or control. Every individual is unique, so is every voice. Though there are individual limitations differing from person to person, it is very important to note that this is the only instrument, which can be cultivated, improved and cultured, by variation of pitch, intensity and timbre (tonal quality). The Speech - language Pathologists will have new avenue to develop the knowledge and skills to expand their practice scope. The veteran Dr. Ashok Ranade will be enlightening us.



MISHACON is giving an opportunity to learn these new skills.

The most important of all RCI has given us CRE credit for

MISHACON 2009.



Hurry, rush for the registration. The revised registration schedule is enclosed herewith. In case you require accommodation details please contact reachmedvents@hotmail.com or Brian Gear on 9822311519 or Sanjay on 9890966629

The Registration form is enclosed as an attachment for your perusal.



Wishing you & your Family a very Happy Diwali!!!

Looking forward to meeting you all soon

Brain Gym

MAHARASHTRA DYSLEXIA ASSOCIATION
In association with
ROSHAN BAHAR G
ADVANCED CONSULTANT FACILITATOR, 3-IN-1 CONCEPTS, USA
Presents

Once Again Due to Popular Demand

THE “GETTING BETTER” WORKSHOPS
THIS SELF-HELP SERIES AIMS TO EQUIP PARTICIPANTS WITH TOOLS TO UNDERSTANDING AND RELEASING STRESS THROUGH SIMPLE, EASY-TO-USE TECHNIQUES.

1. TOOLS OF THE TRADE:
20th October to 25th October 2009, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

An exciting 6-day workshop where you will learn the muscle-testing technique that helps you identify and release past negative stress which manifests within the body as physical pain and other types of problems like:
Depression, Insomnia, Fear of Failure, Obesity, Constant Fatigue, Loss of Libido, Addictions, Headaches, Allergies, Poor Grades, Muscular Tension, Aggression, Nail-Biting, Dizziness, Palpitations, Excessive Sweating, Anxiety, Loss of Appetite, Constant Frustration, Indecision.



Fees
Tools of the Trade: Rs 7500/- (Inclusive of manual & stationery)
Rs 5500/- for old students


UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES

This workshop is part of a series from 3-in-One Concepts, USA.
Even before birth, and throughout our lives, we are exposed to feelings, emotions and situations, which form the basis for our belief systems. When the emotions and situations experienced are negative, they create tremendous negative stress. Muscle-testing is used to access the information locked in cellular memory.

This negative stress interferes with our ability to respond appropriately to present-time situations, and our performance suffers. Coming into contact with the cause of yesterday’s fears with present time awareness, presents us with the opportunity to release the stress of old negative emotions, feelings and beliefs and opens doors to endless possibilities for positive change through precision. Participants will receive certification from 3-in-One Concepts on completion of each programme.

BRAIN GYM & BEYOND
21st October to 25th October 2009, 5 p.m.-7 p.m.

Learn body co-ordination exercises that help co-ordinate left and right brain and thus make learning stress free. Doing these exercises also helps in concentration in all aspects of a student’s life from sports to classroom activities; and helps build a child’s self-esteem, confidence and social integration skills.

Edu-K’s Brain Gym

Brain Gym, has been developed by Paul Dennison, a professional educator and a pioneer in the field of applied brain research. He is the author of the system of mind-body integration known as Educational Kinesiology, of which Brain Gym is the first step. It enables a student or an adult to integrate experience with the whole brain, and thus helps increase the performance of the brain. By understanding how the brain works, we can maximize the innate potential of the brain.

Fees Rs. 5500/- (including manuals)

Discounts for those registering for more than one workshop:

Tools of the Trade + Brain Gym: Rs 7500/- + Rs. 4000/- = Rs 11,500/-

Tools of the Trade + Brain Gym: Rs 5500/- + Rs. 4000/- = Rs 9,500/- (for old students)


Fees are inclusive of tea, coffee & biscuits. Lunch to be carried by the participants.

Aapki Antara- Zee tv

Autism-Watch Aapki Antara episode from 8.30 to 9 pm on Zee TV

Hi friends,
Please watch Aapki KAntara episode from 8.30 to 9 pm on Zee TV- the last one minute is devoted to our families of children with autism.

The Zee guys have put in a lot of efforts in covering twenty families to show how diverse autism really is. The twenty children are from the lowest to the highest end of the spectrum yet have such diverse issues which can be seen very briefly.
In the course of the serial they try to educate the viewers about autism daily. At the end of it they have given a minute of air time to show how families are actually dealing with autism in mumbai to start with to see how the audiences react. They are also sincerely trying to show how to treat the child in terms of therapy/education as well as in the family and in society in a very positive way.
They have successfully managed to put the word autism in the mass audiences mind through the child Antara who is the star of the show and has autism. The Zee TV people are also continuously in touch with experienced therapists and doctors in the field of Autism to check how they should show the treatment in terms of therapy to be given to the child. They are open to feedback and are willing to show the right picture as far as possible so that the audience is able to understand what the child, the family and the teachers go through in handling autism.
We as part of Forum for autism, have always tried to increase awareness on autism, this serial has definitely helped in getting the word Autism on peoples lips very easily and thats the beauty of the medium.
Hope the story shapes well for Antara!
Cheers!
