Friday, April 8, 2005 from 9:00am-5:00pm (registration begins at 8:30am)
C.A.S.E., Inc. is a non-public agency that specializes in services for children and young adults on the autistic spectrum. Dr. Cynthia Norall, clinical director, began her social skills program, Friends’ Club®, five years ago in San Diego, CA. Friends’ Club® introduces children to the social strategies as described by Tony Attwood and Carol Gray (both noted experts in the field) and their applications.
The C.A.S.E., Inc. philosophy is to provide children and teens, with autism spectrum disorders, interventions that integrate proven therapies that benefit the child as well as the family. We celebrate the insight that children/teens with an autism spectrum disorder offer to our society. Our mission is to prepare the child or teen to be a socially successful person who makes and maintains friendships throughout life, and someone who is able to enter the social world of work.
