SUMMARY:AutismBC Talks: Adult Diagnosis
DESCRIPTION:Growing adult populations in BC are being excluded from accessing supports and the understanding and acceptance that a formal autism diagnosis provides.    \nOver the last two years\, AutismBC has seen a 70% increase in the inquires about adult assessment and a 190% increase in inquires on the provision of other adult services. \nCurrently\, in BC\, There is no publicly funded system for adult autism assessments. To see a psychiatrist a referral from a family doctor is required. However\, waitlists to see a psychiatrist are extremely long\, and many are not knowledgeable about autism\, and therefore few psychiatrists are comfortable to take on adult autism assessments or autistic clients. \nAt this meeting\, you will hear from two experienced and dedicated professionals who are making a difference for the autistic community. \nJoin us for Dr. Grace Iarocci and Dr. David Worling presentation on Adult Diagnosis: \n\nWhy is adult diagnosis important?\nWhat are the barriers to Assessment and Diagnosis in BC?\nIdeas for solutions or Best Practices\n\nWe will also hear from two Autistic Self Advocates\, Alexandria B\, and Shayna K as to why they choose to\, or not to\, pursue a formal autism assessment. \n  \nSpace is limited and priority will be given to adults contemplating an assessment. Registration is required ahead of time. \nTo Register\, Please CLICK HERE \nA Zoom link to a private meeting room will be sent 24 hours before the presentation.  \nAbout the Speakers \nDr. Grace Iarocci \nA winner of BC Autism Awards in 2018\, Dr. Grace Iarocci has worked in autism research since 1992\, and in 2000 joined Simon Fraser University where she founded the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Lab.

For six years\, she has run a free Summer camp for autistic AND neurotypical children\, providing an opportunity for them to learn how to understand emotions to initiate friendships. Dr. Iarocci is also a co-founder of the Autism Mentoring Initiative (AMI)\, a peer mentorship program at SFU\, to assist students with ASD with the transition from high school-to-university. Launched in 2014\, peer mentors receive formal training and on-going supervision. Dr. Iarocci is also deeply committed to and involved in\, influencing policy on ASD and worked closely with Ministry of Children and Family Development and Ministry of Health and several community agencies in BC to improve the state of services for individuals on the autism spectrum.  \nFind out more about Dr. Iarocci and her incredible work in this blog. \nDr. David Worling \nDr. David Worling cofounded Westcoast Child Development Group in 2003 and is the clinical director.

SUMMARY:AutismBC Talks: Individual Education Plans (IEPs) with Suzanne Perreault
DESCRIPTION:Going back to school during a pandemic can add more stress and uncertainty to processes that at the best of times are difficult. In BC\, there is also a slow shift in how IEPs are written. This means some school districts are using one format\, and others have switched to an updated one. \nOur hope is this information will help you become familiar with current IEPs as well as the new Core Competencies format that will eventually be in use by all BC school districts.  \n\nWe connected with Suzanne Perreault\, autistic self-advocate\, and mother to share some of her experiences.  \nSpeaker: Suzanne Perreault is an autistic self-advocate and parent of three\nTime: Saturday September 25  10:00 – 12:00\nTopic: The IEP Process  \n \n\nThe IEP is an important tool to support the education of students. This session will be looking at both impact and experience through the IEP process for parents and what can Educators do to support students effectively through these meetings via language and relationship while building collaboration with parents using empathy as a driver.  \nRegistration is required ahead of time.
