Everyone is Welcome! Professionals, Georgia Companies, Neurodivergent Individuals, and Advocates
Welcome To Our GANCC Networking Fall Series
We are very excited to have Dr. Celine Saulnier present on:
The Importance of Fostering Adaptive Behavior Skills to Enhance Independence in Adulthood
Delays and deficits in adaptive behavior or everyday practical skills are common in ASD. Research has shown an increasing association between these delays and poor adult outcome, resulting in very bright and capable individuals failing to, for example, complete college, hold down jobs, live independently, and have successful relationships. This talk will outline how important it is for autistic individuals to learn, practice, and apply practical skills to everyday routines and contexts through direct instruction and therapeutic coaching.
Dr. Saulnier obtained her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Connecticut. She trained and worked at the Yale Child Study Center’s Autism Program for nearly a decade before relocating to Emory University School of Medicine and the Marcus Autism Center in Atlanta, GA, where she directed a large-scale clinical research program. In 2018, she opened her own company, Neurodevelopmental Assessment & Consulting Services, where she specializes in diagnostic assessment, as well as teaching and training for autism spectrum and related disorders. Dr. Saulnier has published numerous articles, written two books, and she is an author on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition.
