PAR OHIO
The mission of PAR is
to offer quality training, professional development and networking
opportunities to enhance services to individuals with developmental
disabilities.
To carry out this
mission, we rely on the support and volunteer efforts of many
dedicated individuals, working together to continually improve the
manner in which mentally challenged individuals are provided with
personal care and assistance. Our human resources include
professionals from various fields of MRDD, who share their knowledge
and expertise with one another to achieve their common goal. This is
accomplished through our annual PAR Conventions, where those same
professionals gather together each year to share their talents,
skills, knowledge, and visions. |

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): Behond the Basics - A Framework for Intervention Design
In recent years service providers and educators have become more aware of the characteristics and behaviors
associated with individuals identified with an autism spectrum disorder and more familiar with the underlying causes of
these behavioral challenges. However, many parents and professionals continue to struggle to identify and implement
effective strategies to address the areas of concern or to teach new skills. This workshop will present a framework that
assists in the selection and organization of interventions to create an individualized and comprehensive plan to support an
individual.
