Two half - day workshops: Assessment
and interventions for Adults with ASD: An introduction
Date: 23 May 2013
Venue: Brunei Gallery,
London
Despite considerable mental and physical
health co-morbidities in people with autism spectrum disorders
(ASD) and the availability of effective assessment strategies, the
disorder can often go unrecognised. This leads to unnecessary
distress, ineffective use of treatment and the poor management of
co-morbid mental health conditions. In two half-day workshops, we
will provide an overview of the how to assess ASD and common mental
health co-morbidites in adults, and present evidence-based
interventions.
Workshop 1 - Assessment and diagnosis of ASD
This workshop will cover a step-by-step, evidence-based approach to
the assessment and diagnosis of ASD, and will address clinical and
practical considerations when undertaking diagnostic and
psychiatric assessments with individuals with ASD.
Workshop 2 - Assessment and interventions for common mental health
conditions in ASD
This workshop will provide a step-by-step, evidence-based approach
to undertaking a compre-hensive assessment of co-morbidity,
formulating the treatment approach, and an overview of
evidence-based pharmacological and psychological
interventions.
Workshops times: Workshop 1: 9.30 - 12.45 Workshop 2: 1.45 - 5.00.
Fee: £ 60 per workshop, reduced fee £ 100 if attending both

Resilience: 'Ordinary Magic' and
Learnable Skills
Date: 30 May 2013
Venue: YoungMinds, London SE1
1YW
Psychologists have long recognised that some
children develop well despite growing up in high risk environments.
This capacity to cope with adversity, and even be strengthened by
it, is at the heart of resilience. It is not something that people
either have or don’t have – resilience is learnable and teachable
and as we learn we increase the range of strategies available to us
when things get difficult.
This course will draw on insights from social care, psychodynamic
thinking and positive psychology, as well as the growing evidence
base from around the world, to develop an understanding of how
resilience can be applied in work with children and families.
A group consultation model will be used to help participants to
reflect on the needs of children and families (and themselves) and
to generate creative and novel ways of working.
Fee: £149 + VAT

National Prisons Philosophy
Movement
Date: 6 June 2013
Venue: Mary Sumner
House. 24, Tufton Street, Westminster. SW1
The National Prisons Philosophy Movement's
purpose is to make prison governance and offender programmes
transparent and accountable to the public.
Currently, no public monitoring/evalutation mechanism exists for
offender programmes in prisons. For instance, Home Office
statistics show that 1. 2 million women experienced domestic
violence last year (2012). What is being done with domestic
violence offenders in prison to solve this appalling problem? How
do we know what effect it is having on offenders?
A National Prisons Philosophy Conference will look at how we can
implement a rigorous monitoring.evaluation strategy to answer these
and other related questions. Main speakers:
- Lord Ramsbotham, former Chief Inspector of
Prisons.
- Sue Bailey, President of the Royal College of
Psychiatrists.
- Jennifer Kay from The Howard League for Penal
Reform
Attendance £15 (paid on the day). Tea and
coffee provided. There are several good places nearby for

Psychological assessment and
interventions for adults with ASD: An introduction
Date: 21 June 2013
Venue: Brunei Gallery, London
WC1H 0XG
Individuals with autism-spectrum disorders
(ASD) frequently experience co-morbid mental health conditions
including anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and
depression. Assessment of co-morbidity can be problematic due to

This one-day evidence-based and
clinically-focused workshop will cover the following:
- An overview of ASD and common co-morbid
mental health conditions
- Neuropsychological approaches to ASD
- Making sense of experiences: formulating the
treatment approach
- Adapting cognitive-behavioural interventions
to treat common co-morbidities

case vignettes, and group discussions. Fee: £130
