12th Annual
Parents' Retreat,
January 12 - 13, 2008 Please note the date has changed from the summer of 2007 to a winter retreat.
Whispering Pines
Conference Center
West Greenwich, RI
Designed to
provide a relaxing
and supportive
environment for
parents or
caregivers to
reflect on, explore,
and share the
rewards and
challenges of
raising a child with
ASD. There will be
opportunities for
relaxation,
discussion,
networking, making
new friends and
learning from other
parents, in a
beautiful country
setting with great
food.
Although there
will be
opportunities to
learn, the format is
that of a retreat,
different from a
conference. The
atmosphere is
relaxed and casual.
The retreat is
scheduled from
Saturday AM, to
Sunday after lunch.
Participants must
commit to the full
time of the retreat
(attendance for one
day is not
permitted), but how
you choose to use
the time is very
flexible.
A nominal fee is
requested for the
weekend. Funds
raised from the the
annual ASD symposium subsidize the
retreat, so
scholarships are
available if
finances are a
factor.
