Happy Spring!
May 16, 2008
Happy Spring to everyone out there in Region IVland! Spring is such a magical time of year! The birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, the earth is shaking, the rain is POURING! It is also the time when we begin to see brand new baby critters running around and here at the Region IV office you will find the same. Well, not baby critters but a brand new new training calendar will soon be born! Cheryl is working very hard on it and we hope to have it up on the web this summer. There is one event that I would like to bring to your attention now. On August 7 & 8, 2008 Region IV will be hosting Barbara Doyle at the Williamson County Pavillion in Marion. Barbara will be giving a two-day workshop titled Successful Teaching and Supports for Very Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. We expect this to be a very popular workshop so don’t hesitate to sign up as soon as possible. We will be sending out an email blast with the registration form very soon. If you are reading this message and have not received an email blast feel free to contact us for more information.
Here are a list of the topics we plan to cover this year:
Autism Creative Curriculum and Children with IEPs
Parent Involvement Storytelling
Transition Aggressive Behaviors
Preventing Burnout Math and the IELS
Brain Development Sign Language
Special Education Process for Educators
Itinerant Teaching
CSEFEL
Hopefully you see something that interests you! Be on the lookout for the training calendar! We hope the end of your school year goes smoothly! Have a great summer!
