Autism Speaks' Family Services department is proud to announce the release of a DVD series from the
Aging with Autism: Defining the Future conference presented by Developmental Disabilities Institute, Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism, and The Eden II Programs. With the permission of the conference presenters, Autism Speaks recorded many of the sessions so that the information could later be made available to families and caregivers who did not have the opportunity to attend. The DVDs provide information on topics ranging from housing and transition issues, to sexuality and employment. Students and clients from Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism and The Martin C. Barell School in Commack, N.Y. are handling the reproduction of the DVDs.
"We are delighted to work with Autism Speaks on this project,” said Nicole Weidenbaum, Executive Director, Nassau Suffolk Services for Autism and The Martin C. Barell School. “Not only will it help to bring valuable information to those caring for adults on the autism spectrum, but it also provides an opportunity for our clients to gain vocational training and work experience. We are very grateful to Autism Speaks for creating this opportunity for our students and clients.”
Autism Speaks is pleased to offer these DVDs at no cost outside the price of shipping and handling. To view the available titles and to order the DVDs,
