Asperger Syndrome Conferences

in Wales 2005



The Wales’ Asperger Syndrome (AS) conferences aim to provide valuable insights and information for practitioners and parents living or working with children and adults with AS.

These important events will be of interest to a multi disciplinary audience including practitioners working in services provided by health, social services, education and the independent sectors, as well as for parents and individuals with AS themselves.



These days will also serve as a prelude to a planned national Welsh conference for people with AS themselves, due to take place in the autumn of 2005.

Financial Help

Autism Cymru has established a small bursary scheme to fund parents or

people with ASD themselves, who genuinely cannot find the funds to meet

part or full costs, to attend training courses across Wales approved by

Autism Cymru.

Bursaries for training are awarded on an individual basis and any award

made will be based upon evidence of need and financial hardship.

Applications should be made in writing and sent to:

The Hon Treasurer, Autism Cymru Conference Office, 64 Newport Rd,

Cardiff, CF24 ODF.

Awards are given according to priority and are dependent on funds being

available for the bursary scheme. Awards may be made on a part or full

cost basis.
