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.
