SUSAN McGOWAN volunteer from Autism Ontario – Ottawa Branch will be discussing UNDERSTANDING AUTISM. Susan McGowan's presentation will focus on the diagnosis, treatment, research and some other autism 'hot topics”. She will convey a better understanding what it feels like to be a young person with autism, to "de-mystify" some of the strange behaviour that people on the spectrum often exhibit, and teach some strategies that any 'typical' person can use to be friendly, inclusive, and get to know the person inside the autism.
 
She will combine her background in theatre with her present life as the parent of a child on the autism spectrum. Sue has immersed herself over the past seven years in autism issues, research and therapy, while participating with her son in ABA/IBI “More than Words”, the DAN approach, RDI, Speech, Occupational Sensory Integration, Hippo and Music Therapy.
