What is Asperger's Syndrome? A person with Asperger's Syndrome are often intelligent indivduals that may know a lot of information on specific topics of interest. They are detail-oriented and have a unique perspective about things. They may have some social difficulties, such as having a hard time picking up on body language, giving eye contact, and/or having sensitivity to sound, light, or touch. Most importantly, each person is unique, so Asperger's Syndrome will look different from person to person. We are excited to offer young adults (18-30 years old) two 10-week session Asperger's Groups starting October 12, 2013! This is an opportunity to share, connect, learn, and grow. Check out the flyer below and share with others. Please visit our Groups page under the Services & Fees tab to learn more details.
I will be presenting at the 64th Annual Florida Counseling Association 2013 Convention. This year, I will be providing an educational content session about counseling individuals with Asperger's Syndrome, entitled: Asperger's Syndrome: An Innate Culture. The conference will take place on October 4-5, 2013 in Tampa, Florida.
The mission of the Florida Counseling Assocation (FCA) is "to promote the value of professional counseling as well as supporting and unifying professional counselors in all settings resulting in high quality practices in Florida." To learn more about FCA, please visit their website at www.flacounseling.org. I look forward to presenting again at this conference; hope to see you there! Thanks for visiting my site! This blog will serve as an avenue to share updates about Pursuit of Happiness and the mental health field. Stay tuned for what Pursuit of Happiness has in store for you and your community!
