This is a seminar and panel discussion about educational testing for children and adults with disabilities.

Learn from three autism experts how they use their testing, observation and analysis to refute inappropriate District/Regional Center recommendations and establish the basis for effective intervention.

Although it has general applicability for all disabilities, the seminar is especially focused on autism. It will offer valuable information for parents, students, clinicians, educators and medical professionals.

Although not always well understood by the general public, assessment from a qualified expert is critical to obtaining intensive autism services.



A qualified neuropsychologist is uniquely capable of developing assessment evidence that can be used to persuade the school District to settle an educational dispute without the need for litigation.



For this reason, it is crucial that parents understand the role that a neuropsychologist plays in an autism case.

Panelists:

Dr. Betty Bostani: Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in the diagnosis and assessment of children on the autism spectrum.

Dr. Mary Large: Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in neuropsychological, developmental, and forensic evaluations.

Dr. Robin Morris: Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in conducting IEE's and evaluating children's programs and placements.
