Access to the Workforce for Adult & Adolescent Learners with AD/HD and 
Asperger's Syndrome

February 22-23, 2009

A two-day concentrated format that directly responds to calls for more 
of what NAASLN does best-intimate, practical, hands-on conferences.

Conveniently located near Baltimore, this regional conference will draw 
adult education practitioners, transition specialists, community 
college faculty, workforce counselors, disability advocates, and others 
from New York to Virginia.

The self-contained conference site and tight format lends itself to 
ample time for small-group discussions of how these breakthrough 
strategies apply to the evolving economy; issues affecting the new 
workforce; transition to postsecondary education and the workforce; 
advocacy issues and techniques; webinars; leadership options; and more.

Access to the New Economy for Adult Learners with AD/HD and Asperger's 
will feature three plenary sessions:

*   ADD and Entrepreneurism...A Curriculum that Works!
presented by Richard Cooper, Ph.D., Learning Specialist
*   Asperger's Syndrome, Part I: The Adult Education Class
presented by Bevan Gibson, M.S. Sp. Ed., Director Southern Illinois 
Professional Development Center
*   Asperger's Syndrome, Part II: Transitioning to Postsecondary 
Education
presented by Melissa Arnott-Cox, Ed.D., L.P.C., C.A.C., Director 
Academic Success Center, Rowan University, Glassboro, NJ
