AUTREAT 2005: REACHING OUT

Autreat is a retreat-style conference run by autistic people, for autistic people and our friends and families. It is an opportunity for autistic people and those with related developmental differences, our friends and supporters to come together, discover and explore autistic connections, and develop advocacy skills, all in an autistic-friendly environment. Autreat focuses on positive living with autism, NOT on causes, cures, or ways to make us more normal. Autreat features a lineup of workshops on a variety of subjects of interest to the autistic community, including both advocacy-related topics and practical daily living concerns. Autreat has been approved to offer Continuing Education Units through the Center on Human Policy at Syracuse University.

Autreat 2005 will take place on June 27-July 1 at a small university campus in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area. The campus has plenty of open space for walking, recreation, and enjoying the outdoors. Lodging is in a residence hall with two to four people per room. Registration includes a supervised activity program for children and teens under 18. For fee information, registration form, a list of workshops, and further autreat information, check out ANI's website at: http://www.ani.ac.

That seems really neat. It seems that this is something that parents could attend with their child. Is that correct? It isn't 100% clear to me. Are their workshops specifically for parents/caregivers?
