Brightstone Transitions, Vantage Point Aspiro, Black Mountain Academy and Daniels Academy are excited to put on the 9th Autism Symposium in Asheville, NC, on Tuesday, March 31st and Wednesday, April 1st, 2020. The Autism symposium will include an expert panel discussion, breakout sessions by professionals specializing in working with this population, and keynote speakers Michelle Garcia Winner and Pamela Crooke. Michelle and Pamela will be presenting on their Social Thinking model and how mental health professionals can implement this model in various treatment settings.
The Autism Symposium was created in order to bring more awareness to the increasing need for services for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and to facilitate conversations on the most pertinent topics regarding these students and their families. With this symposium, the hope is to highlight top-notch treatment approaches and provide insights that will continue to aid professionals that serve this population.
This year the conference will be held at the historic and beautiful Grove Park Inn, which was established in 1913 and is quite literally built into and from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. As a five star hotel, The Grove Park Inn has been host to a variety of presidents and celebrities since its opening. The Grove Park Inn features a 6,400-yard championship golf course, an award-winning spa, and numerous dining and nightlife options. Every evening, guests have the opportunity to watch the sun set over the Asheville skyline and layers of blue mountain ridges.
Be sure to mark your calendar and register soon to join us for these incredible few days.
