Since 1983, research has shown that the correct color improves reading rate, accuracy and comprehension. The correct color filters out offending wavelengths of light and allows the brain to accurately receive and process visual information. The Irlen Method has helped thousands of people worldwide.

Maude Le Roux and Janice Buckwalter are now the only certified diagnosticians for Irlen Syndrome in the Tri-state area. Come learn more about how this could possibly assist your child!

Come hungry as refreshments will be served throughout the presentation.

This one-day workshop focuses on The P.L.A.Y. Project, a unique, community based Autism training and early intervention program.

This model is based on the developmental theories of Stanley Greenspan, MD, known as the Developmental, Individualized & Relationship (DIR®) Oriented Model–also known as "Floortime&trade". The DIR® theory and research will be presented along with videotape case examples to help participants learn DIR® strategies, methods and techniques. The session will help parents and professionals learn effective, low cost, and efficient ways to provide intensive intervention programming for young children (18 months to 7 years) with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and help them gain language and social skills.
