Course in Autism Approach offered Jan. 17, 18 and 19

Are you living with or know someone who lives with a family member struggling with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Traumatic Brain Injury or other neurological challenges?
HANDLE is a unique approach that works through the "rehabilitation" vs "desensitization" of neuropathways that either did not develop properly or have otherwise been damaged.

One family member who has worked with a practitioner for some time and has seen results for her son, has asked the HANDLE institute to offer the 12-hour comprehensive course at Kimberton Hills on January 17, 18 and 19 from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Designed for those who interact with children and adults experiencing cognitive, motor, and behavioral difficulties, the course presents the work of Judith Bluestone, the originator of the HANDLE approach. In her book The Fabric of Autism, Weaving the Threads into a Cogent Theory, Bluestone combines her personal autistic experience with academic research and more than 40 years of clinical practice to craft a unique and compelling view of autism. The HANDLE paradigm has proven itself a practical tool for achieving functional outcomes. In this course, you will learn activities you can do to help your child or clients, and guidance and understanding on what really works.

Carolyn Nuyens, Acting Co-Director of The HANDLE Institute, Certified HANDLE Practitioner and Instructor, will lead the course.
