Little Star Lecture Series – Dr. Mary Jane Weiss
September 21, 2013 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Dr. Weiss has co-written a book about siblings of children with autism – Sibling Stories: Reflections on Life With a Brother or Sister on the Autism Spectrum (co-authored with Lynne Stern Feiges, 2004).
(She has also co-written Right From the Start: Behavioral Intervention for Young Children with Autism (co-authored with Sandra Harris, 1998; 2nd edition, 2007), Reaching Out, Joining In: Teaching Social Skills to Young Children with Autism (co-authored with Sandra Harris, 2001), and Practical Solutions for Educating Young Children with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome (2008)).
There is not a lot of info out there for parents about typical siblings, so that is why we picked this topic. I have heard her speak on this topic before and it is very good – would be very meaningful to autism parents and professionals.
(Part of our mission is to support families affected by autism and educate the community about autism. That is the reason for our Little Star Lecture Series and why we offer the presentations free of charge.)
