ONLINE EDITION OF THE 2008 ANNUAL CONFERENCE

REDEFINING THE POTENTIAL FOR EMOTIONAL AND SOCIAL FUNCTIONING IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM AND SPECIAL NEEDS

Interdisciplinary Council on Developmental and Learning Disorders (ICDL) www.icdl.com

Konferenssiin voi "osallistua" online omalla tietokoneella, katsomalla ja kuuntelemalla kaikki esitykset jonakin alla olevista ajanjaksoista. Kun maksaa osallistumismaksun, saa tunnukset joilla voi kirjautua miten monta kertaa haluaa mihin aikaan vuorokaudesta tahansa valitsemananaan ajanjaksona. Itse suoritin tällä periaatteella touko-kesäkuussa ICDL:n tarjoaman online-DIR/Floortime-johdantokurssin ja sain diplomin suoritettuani loppukokeen myös online.

Hinta: ICDL jäsenille $ 150, ei-jäsenille $ 190. Rekisteröityminen.

December 11-22, 2008 January 8-19, 2009 January 29-February 16, 2009
