Conference on Career Planning for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder

On November 17, 2009 STCC, in conjunction with the Autism Asperger Publishing Company, will sponsor "Developing Talents: Career Planning, Including Higher Education, for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder". Temple Grandin Ph.D., a scientist with autism, "will share her personal story of how she developed her own abilities for the workplace. She will also outline key components for educators and parents to use in helping to develop the special talents of individuals with HFA/AS." The fee for this conference ranges from $60 to $120 depending on the category of person registering. More information on the conference can be found here.

The STCC library has developed a research guide on autism and Asperger's syndrome in order to highlight resources available from the STCC library and from the Web that can help if you want to learn more about these issues.
