SUMMARY:Conference: "Autism -Training professionals to foster inclusion". Brussels\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:If you are a professional working with people on the autism spectrum\, this half-day conference will give you the opportunity to learn more about available training on autism online\, independently of your area of knowledge. \nThis event\, organised by Autism-Europe\, will share the results of the work undertaken by of professionals from Spain\, Serbia\, Portugal and Belgium in the framework of the Erasmus+ project IPA+\, as well as an expert trainer from the UK. \nRegister here \nSimultaneous translation into English and French will be provided. \nThe programme\nDownload the draft agenda \nThe IPA+ training\nThe IPA+ Training\, developed in collaboration with academics\, multidisciplinary professionals\, parents and self-advocates\, aims at addressing the existing gaps in training on autism\, taking into account the needs of autistic people and their families\, and the demands of society in general. Acknowledging the diversity of people on the autism spectrum\, as well as the existing approaches and intervention models in autism offered by support services\, IPA+ proposes a new educational strategy to qualify a wide range of professionals to support autistic people in different contexts and spheres of life.  \nIt is hoped that participating in the modules will help professionals to grow in confidence\, assisting them in making and implementing self-help strategies that will go some way toward meeting the needs of the autistic people they work with and easing strain associated with their professional activity. \nKeynote speaker\nLinda Woodcock- Director for AT Autism\, UK  \nLinda has many years’ experience of working with autistic people and their families. She previously managed advice and advocacy services and a family support service for a large regional charity. She has been instrumental in devising and delivering innovative person centred training courses for parents and families in understanding autism and behaviours that challenge. She also delivers this training to professionals within health\, social care and education services\, as well as the criminal justice system. In addition\, Linda carries out assessments and service audit and reviews working both in the UK and internationally. She is the co author of the book ‘Managing Family Meltdown: The low arousal approach and autism’. Linda manages a person centred service for her adult son who has autism and severe and complex needs. \nAT-Autism\, associated member of Autism-Europe\, offers training and consultancy in all aspects of autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions to support  individuals\, families\, professionals and organisations in the UK and internationally.

SUMMARY:Lecture: What Do Autism Therapies Do (if they do not Cure Autism)? - Leuven\, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:Public lecture by Gil Eyal\, Columbia University. It is free and open to the public but registration is necessary (via gert.meyers@kuleuven.be). More details here. \nThe lecture will take place from 17:30 to 19:00 PM at the Kardinaal Mercierzaal of the Institute of Philosophy (Kardinaal Mercierplein 2\, 3000 Leuven).  \nAbstract: There are many different ways to think about or evaluate the therapies\, interventions and treatments given to children with autism. In evaluation studies\, they would be judged in terms of their effectiveness in reducing certain symptoms and/or in terms of their costs. More critical research seeks to assess therapies in terms of how normalizing they are or tolerant of cognitive difference. In this talk\, I will propose several other ways to think about the significance of these therapies\, and understand them as constitutive features of the contemporary experience of autism. First\, therapies may be analyzed as mechanisms for translating and aligning the interests (broadly construed) of the different parties involved in the therapeutic act – patients\, parents\, therapists\, teachers\, doctors\, etc. – thereby creating stable networks of expertise. Second\, they may be analyzed as grids of specification that target\, differentiate and name certain specific aspects of behavior\, communication and comportment\, thereby giving shape to the specific way in which we understand and diagnose autism today. Finally\, autism therapies may also be understood as engaging in “ontological politics” (Mol 2002) and elaborating an infrastructure supporting autistic personhood. \nBio: Gil Eyal is Professor of Sociology at Columbia University in New York. He is also co-leading a recent initiative on “Precision Medicine & Society” at Columbia\, meant to bring together social scientists who are doing cutting-edge work on recent development in medicine\, and put them in conversation with medical researchers and leaders of medical education involved in Precision Medicine projects. Among his recent books and articles are: (with Brendan Hart\, Emine Onculer\, Neta Oren and Natasha Rossi)\, “The Autism Matrix: The Social Origins of the Autism Epidemic”. (Polity 2010); “For A Sociology of Expertise” (American Journal of Sociology 2013); (with Dan Navon) “Looping Genomes: Diagnostic Change and the Genetic Makeup of the Autism Population.” (American Journal of Sociology 2016); and “The Physician-Patient Relationship in the Age of Precision Medicine.” (forthcoming in Genetics in Medicine). He is currently preparing a book\, tentatively titled “The Crisis of Expertise.” \nThis lecture is made possible thanks to the financial support of the Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek van Vlaanderen (FWO) – WOG “Autism Ethics Network”. On 15-16/11 a number of research network activities (only open to affiliated researchers) will be conducted.

SUMMARY:Using Artificial Intelligence To Enhance Accessibility - Opportunities And Risks Of Emerging Technologies For Persons With Disabilities. Vienna\, Austria
DESCRIPTION:On 16 November\, the European Disability Forum (EDF) and the Austrian council of persons with disabilities will organise a side event to fully explore the potential of emerging technologies. The event will focus in technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and aims to debate and promote a universal design approach in their development\, preventing the creation of new barriers for persons with disabilities. \nIt will be a unique opportunity for delegates and experts of the European disability movement to exchange their views with major technological companies\, get to know their AI-based solutions and brainstorm together about the future of accessibility. \nGoals of the event\n\nPresent and disseminate a new report on emerging technologies describing the opportunities\, challenges and risks that these new technologies may entail for persons with disabilities\, in which several ICT players have contributed with interviews.\nSupporting organisations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) in being aware of the main technology trends and how these can affect the lives of persons with disabilities.\nDevelop understanding of Artificial Intelligence\, Machine Learning\, Internet of Things\, Virtual Reality\, Smart Homes\, etc. and how these emerging technologies can be made accessible and enhance accessibility for persons with disabilities.\nTo showcase worth-knowing solutions and practices that could be picked up by OPDs and persons with disabilities\, and ICT companies and organisations to receive feedback from persons with disabilities on those solutions and practices.\nTo facilitate networking between OPDs and ICT companies and organisations.\n\nThis side event is organised with the support of Microsoft\, the Essl Foundation and MyHandicap.org. \nThe draft program and further information will follow shortly on the EDF website.

SUMMARY:Congrès Autisme France 2018: « Familles et professionnels au cœur du changement ». Nice\, France
DESCRIPTION:En France\, la loi met au cœur du système de santé comme de l’accompagnement médico-social\, l’usager\, depuis les deux lois de 2002. Malheureusement\, la place de l’usager reste encore marginale\, même si la situation s’améliore\, et que les compétences des patients (dans le sanitaire) et des personnes en situation de handicap (et de leurs familles) commencent à être prises en compte.  \nLe partenariat étroit entre les personnes autistes\, leurs familles et les professionnels qui peuvent les aider est pourtant une évidence : sans le partage de savoirs et de compétences\, il est impossible d’aider vraiment et de manière durable une personne autiste.  \nAussi a-Autisme France construit son congrès sur la réflexion autour de cette alliance. On peut la décliner autour de multiples thématiques : mieux comprendre les différentes pistes de la recherche scientifique\, pour savoir comment l’usager peut y prendre sa place\, s’informer sur les nouveaux modèles d’interventions\, et nous insistons à ce congrès sur la manière d’aider les adultes\, à la suite de la sortie des recommandations de bonnes pratiques qui leur sont dédiées.  \nAutisme-France est attentif aussi aux nouveaux modèles de services plus inclusifs qu’il est possible de mettre en œuvre\, de manière pionnière : les pôles de compétences externalisées que notre groupement de coopération s’attache à mettre en œuvre\, les services à domicile qui peuvent constituer le fer de lance d’une coordination tant souhaitée entre des acteurs différents\, le modèle des entreprises adaptées au service des personnes autistes.  \nAucune de ces mobilisations ne trouvera de place reconnue et pérenne si les financeurs ne se lancent pas dans une courageuse reconnaissance de la qualité attendue en autisme : nous défendons le projet de certification construit avec l’aide et l’expertise d’Handéo\, pour se doter des outils nécessaires. \nProgramme détaillé \nHébergement \nInscriptions\nEn ligne \nTélécharger le bulletin d’inscriptionet le retourner par courrier accompagné de son règlement à Autisme France\, 1175 avenue de la République – 06550 La Roquette-sur-Siagne

SUMMARY:Open event of the Disability Intergroup: Making the European Disability Card a reality
DESCRIPTION:In 2015 the European Commission launched a pilot project implementing the European Disability Card in 8 Member States (Belgium\, Cyprus\, Estonia\, Finland\, Italy\, Malta\, Romania\, and Slovenia). Funding was available for setting up the Card and the distribution system as well as awareness raising. \nBy 2018\, most of the pilot projects are up and running or almost completed and the Disability Cards are starting to be used by persons with disabilities. But how is this new Card received? Is it easily available? What can it be used for? What were the challenges when setting up the Card in the different Member States? And what is the potential for the future?\n \nThis event will try to answer the questions mentioned above with the clear goal to investigate an expansion of the pilot project to make it into a truly European initiative. Both national authorities as well as Disabled Persons’ Organisations and Card holders will be able to express their views.\n \nWe will collect ideas and recommendations during the event and present those at the end. This will enable us to examine the different options on how the Disability Card can become reality for all persons with disabilities in the EU and facilitate freedom of movement. \nDownload the agenda \nRegistration
