Meet the authors 
next Sunday at the Resource Fair!  

Ivymount is celebrating the release of an innovative new curriculum, Conversation Club: Teaching Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other Social Cognition Challenges to Engage in Successful Conversation with Peers, which was developed by Ivymount staff and tested with Ivymount students.

Join us at 1:30 p.m. in the library to learn more from the authors, led by Lynn Cannon, about this unique and fun way of teaching kids with high functioning autism to converse with their peers. Conversation Club teaches not only the "how" but also the "why" of conversation, and the authors will be sharing several practical strategies that families can implement immediately.  Conversation Club book sets will be available for purchase.
