Come to a TACA Meeting!

TACA holds monthly meetings in many locations throughout the United States that feature educational speakers on important topics and allow family members to connect with one another and stay on top of the latest information in the autism world.

Each TACA group maintains a resource library of the latest autism books and DVDs/CDs that can be checked out by members at no charge.

May 21, 2012	Summer Strategies for Success
	Speaker: Crystal Ringenberg, BCBA
	Crystal is a BCBA providing ABA services for families as well as an advanced trainer for the Nurtured Heart Approach to parenting. Both services will be explained at the TACA meeting as well as how to obtain those services for your family. The Nurtured Heart Approach is an approach that was originally inspired for intense or difficult children. You will appreciate hearing about this approach for your entire family, not just your child with challenging behaviors. Crystal will also help you get a jump start on planning for your summer, setting achievable goals for your child or family. This is also a great opportunity for teachers and professionals to get inspired to make their summer programming the best for their students.
	Additionally, several agencies will be available to share information about their programs and therapies offered to children and teens with autism spectrum disorders. Summer Camp isn’t out of the question due to a disability. Hear about Horse Camp specifically for kids with disabilities – including Autism! Agencies invited include: (more to be added) Music Therapy in Motion, Riding On Angel’s Wings, Altru Pediatric Rehab, Little Miracles, Beyond Boundaries, Sherpherd’s Hill at the Crossroads, FastForward.
	Why should you attend? You can certainly read about an activity or program online or in a brochure. But this meeting gives you a chance to ask specific questions as they relate to your child about programs offered through different agencies in our area.
	TACA offers a lending Library at no cost to families.  Also, if you have any books related to IEP’s, Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, etc….we will gladly add them to our library.  Thank you!
