Upcoming Events for Autism Community Center of Asheville

Parent’s Time Off
Once per month, we invite you and your children to visit us at our brand new location at Westwood Baptist Church in west Asheville. Our professional staff will engage your child in sensory, recreation, and leisure activities, while you have some time off. Siblings are welcome too!
Date: Saturday, Feb 13th 2010 Time: 2-4:30pm Fee: $25/child


Workshops
Local Resources
This workshop quickly goes through the roles various agencies play in the autism community. Who does music therapy? Where can I find a good tutor? Is there a summer camp my child can go to? The first 45 minutes will be an overview of the resources in our area, followed by a question and answer period. The second part of the workshop breaks into two sessions: one regarding resources for adults, and the other will detail the process of obtaining state and federal services for children. Childcare is available upon request.
Date: Tuesday, Feb 16th 2010 Time: 5-8pm Fee: $35

Home Program Basics
This workshop begins with choosing individual household priorities regarding rules, healthy routines, and behavior, and then walks through the steps of creating a home-program that smoothes out the difficult parts of the day. Schedules, token economies, visual structure and sustainability will be covered in a refreshing, empowering format that allows parents to address issues specific to their home and their child in an organized and constructive manner. Childcare is available upon request.
Date: Tuesday, Feb 23rd 2010 Time: 5-8pm Fee: $35

Creative Programming
This workshop goes beyond basic schedule making and token economies. Come hear some new ideas about how to keep your home program refreshingly fun for all of you. We will discuss creative community involvement, fostering friendships, and early employment ideas. Childcare is available upon request.
Date: Tuesday, March 2nd 2010 Time: 5-8pm Fee: $35
