Autism
Training Broadcast In DL / "Project Link"
Partnership November 2007
Autism is an epidemic currently facing
as many as 13 million people throughout the world and hundreds
of children locally. In New York State, the Upper Hudson Valley
Region has the highest population of these individuals outside
of New York City.
Project LINK (Learning Initiatives
Necessary for Kids) is a local
501(c)3 agency that has trained more than 250 educators and
parents involved in teaching children with autism.
Project Link is working with the Distance Learning staff and
regional coordinators in a plan to utilize the DL network
to broadcast a training series this fall to be made available
to as many Distance Learning sites as possible.
2007 Training Dates:
November 1st, 5th, and 7th, 3:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M..
For those in the WSWHE BOCES area, if your school or a neigh-boring
school has a Distance Learning Lab, then it is possible to have
your transportation staff attend courses in your area.
A more convenient and cost saving
way for your transportation staff to attend training and fulfill
their state requirements.
