The conference is taking place on 28 January 2010, at the Savoy Place in London and will be attracting over 250 delegates including families, SEN, teachers, care professionals, advocates - all with a special interest in supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome.
Conference Topics include:

At Brookdale Care we understand that transition between adolescent and adulthood and between services can cause potential unrest for people with Autism and Asperger syndrome.
We support our residents to develop the necessary living and social awareness skills required to enable you to move to a greater level of independence, including
• Social skills – conversation skills, turn taking, social interaction
• Understanding social rules and boundaries
• Ability to read and understand body language
• Understanding cause and effect
• Supported employment
• Community inclusion
• Vocational and educational opportunities
• Budgeting
• Menu planning
• Food preparation

• Daily/weekly planning
Everyone is supported by the Brookdale Therapy group who are experienced in creating positive outcomes for young adults with Autism and Asperger syndrome. They will work with you to understand your condition, to develop coping strategies and anxiety reducing skills and overcome issues that are affecting you and restricting you from living your life to its full potential.
At Brookdale Care we recognise the importance of talking to and liaising closely with parents, schools and community children’s teams at an early stage to enable them, and us, to identify individual needs and carefully plan future residential and supported living services for adults with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
We understand that dedicated care makes a difference to the lives of our clients. Our specialist residential and supported living services offer a unique Autism focused environment that helps our clients to realise their dreams.
