Niort\, France DESCRIPTION:Le 4ème plan autisme a inscrit l’accompagnement des adultes comme une priorité\, au travers d’une meilleure inclusion sociale notamment. \nPour adapter nos propres comportements\, ajuster les dispositifs d’accompagnement et graduer les soutiens en réponse aux besoins singuliers\, il est nécessaire de prendre en compte une connaissance scientifique actualisée. De même\, il est absolument nécessaire de poursuivre le travail de repérage et de diagnostique clinique des adultes afin de mieux accéder aux éléments de compréhension des spécificités socio-communicatives et plus globalement des comportements particuliers liés à l’autisme. \nAussi\, le regard porté envers les adultes doit être celui d’une approche sociétale positive capable de promouvoir sans cesse des parcours de vie inclusifs et ce quelque soit le degré de soutien dont a besoin la personne autiste \, le lieu d’activités et de vie de la personne. Cela nécessite un engagement de la société et de chacun des acteurs au quotidien. \nLes positions associatives\, et plus largement toutes les actions qui contribuent aux soutiens des compétences communautaires et sociales\, des apprentissages\, à l’emploi accompagné et enfin à un habitat aux qualités attendues doivent exiger cet engagement. \nLe défi est celui d’accompagner la personne vers davantage d’autodétermination et vers l’appropriation d’habiletés pour qu’elle soit actrice au quotidien. \nAinsi\, l’édition de ce 8ème colloque consacré à l’âge adulte aura pour volonté de proposer un espace de réflexions constructives et progressistes pour partager les connaissances\, les expériences menées en France par différentes équipes de terrain\, échanger entre tous et bénéficier du regard des personnes présentant un Trouble du Spectre de l’Autisme. \nThematiques abordées\n\nLes perspectives du 4ème plan Autisme et les Recommandations des Bonnes Pratiques Professionnelles de L’ANESM et de la HAS pour les adultes.\nL’actualité scientifique de la recherche sur les TSA.\nLe regard et les attentes de personnes autistes.\nLes dispositifs de soutien pour le développement des habiletés sociales des personnes et leur participation sociale.\n\nComité scientifique\n\nSéverine RECORDON-GABORIAUD : Docteur en Psychologie – Directrice du Pole Accueil Spécialisé de l’Adapei 79 dont la Maison Pour l’Autisme – Membre du CA de l’Arapi.\nPr.

There are so many confusing social rules that appear to be learnt instinctively by non-autistic people. These rules can often cause anxiety as they are generally unwritten and not talked about. \nMost children learn social skills by watching their peers\, experimenting in imitation and refining their skills as they go. Autistic children can find this difficult\, and consequently seem to miss many opportunities to practice these skills. Social skills and social situations need to be broken down\, explained and practiced so that autistic children can understand them. \nMany of us benefit from the closeness and mutual support that comes from having a network of relationships\, be this with friends\, romantic partners or colleagues. However\, for autistic people\, everyday conversation and social interaction can lead to misunderstandings\, confusion or upset\, negotiating the ‘minefield’ of social networks can be much harder and the support of professionals\, parents and carers can be crucial. \nFeaturing a range of expert speakers\, this conference will provide you with an opportunity to learn new strategies\, share good practice and network.

The purpose of this panel will be to identify challenges faced by persons with disabilities regarding the rights to political participation\, and to find solutions for a concrete equality concerning this fundamental citizen’s right. \nThe second day will focus on how EU cities could become more accessible on a sustainable basis and what is needed in order to allow better inclusion for all at local level. In this context\, there will be an interactive panel with cities from across Europe together with politicians from national and EU level.\nFinally\, the Access City Award\, which rewards cities across Europe for their efforts and commitments to be accessible to all\, will close the conference.

This is usually called having sensory integration difficulties or sensory sensitivity. It can have a profound effect on an individua life and autistic people are expected to cope with the sensory challenges at home\, school and work every day \nDealing with these challenges can cause high levels of anxiety and stress\, resulting in behaviours that can be difficult for other people to deal with and offer significant challenges to professionals involved in the provision of educational\, health and welfare services. Understanding the causes of sensory issues can be key in helping to support autistic people at home\, school or residential provision. \nAt this conference\, expert speakers from the National Autistic Society will give you the tools and knowledge to support and help autistic people affected by sensory issues. It will look at how you can help overcome challenges caused by sensory issues and help you to understand the huge impact they can have on the life of an autistic person.

Brussels\, Belgium DESCRIPTION:The existence of stereotyping\, prejudice\, and discrimination towards older adults – commonly referred to as ageism – imposes barriers to developing good policy on ageing. Ageism also hinders older people’s ability to do the things that they value and aspire to. Stereotyping affects how people think about older people; prejudice affects how people feel about older people; and discrimination affects how people and institutions act towards older people. \nAccording to the World Health Organisation\, ageism is highly prevalent worldwide and remains unchallenged in society largely because it is socially accepted and entrenched in institutions. \nThis event\, co-organized by AGE Platform Europe with the support of the delegation of the Basque Country\, the European Commission and the World Health Organization\, will be an opportunity to raise the visibility of the issue and to examine what more can be done at EU level to combat ageism and to contribute to the WHO global campaign to combat ageism.  \nTarget audience:  Policy makers at EU level\, national\, regional and local authorities\, civil society organisations\, service providers\, public health organisations URL:https://www.autismeurope.org/event/eu-contribution-to-who-global-campaign-against-ageism-brussels-belgium/ LOCATION:Delegation of the Basque Country to the European Union\, 27 rue des Deux Eglises\, Brussels\, 1000\, Belgium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.autismeurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/event-AGE-Platform_basque_country-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="AGE Platform Europe":MAILTO:Anne.Melard@age-platform.eu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171021 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171023 DTSTAMP:20260403T195132 CREATED:20170823T095622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170828T090344Z UID:2224-1508544000-1508716799@www.autismeurope.org SUMMARY:Autism-Europe's Council of Administration meeting in Madrid\, Spain DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.autismeurope.org/event/autism-europes-council-of-administration-meeting-in-madrid/ LOCATION:CaixaForum Madrid\, Paseo del Prado\, 36\, Madrid\, 28014\, Spain ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.autismeurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ae-meetings.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Autism-Europe":MAILTO:secretariat@autismeurope.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171017 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171018 DTSTAMP:20260403T195132 CREATED:20170823T122041Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170828T090322Z UID:2244-1508198400-1508284799@www.autismeurope.org SUMMARY:Mifne's Annual Conference: International Perspectives on Autism in Infancy- Israel DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.autismeurope.org/event/mifnes-annual-conference-international-perspectives-on-autism-in-infancy/ LOCATION:Gonda Brain Research Center\, Bar Ilan University\, Ramat Gan\, Ramat Gan\, 5290002\, Israel ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.autismeurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/mifne.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="The Mifne Center":MAILTO:Info@Mifne-Autism.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
