SUMMARY:Annual Parent Retreat....Reflecting on the Journey
DESCRIPTION:The primary purpose of the annual Parent Retreat is 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\, not a conference.  The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. \n“Evaluation questionnaires suggest that the retreat has become far more than a weekend “breather” from the stress and challenges of raising a child with ASD. Parents report sustained long-lasting effects\, and some describe a remarkable impact. It also enables not only the sharing of resources to cope with and address everyday challenges\,but also encourages the development of new coping strategies so that they can return home with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.” \nSchedule: The retreat runs from Saturday morning to Sunday after lunch\, participants must commit to the full retreat (attendance for one day is not permitted).  \nHow you use your time is very flexible. \nFunds to subsidize retreat expenses come from fundraising activities\, donations\, and grants. \nSPACE IS LIMITED! \nCost of the Retreat is: $500. per couple\, $250.00 for a single. \nThere are limited full and partial scholarships available.   \nThe Retreat registration fee includes: lodging for Saturday night and all meals and gratuities (Saturday: Continental Breakfast\, Lunch\, cocktail hour appetizers\, and dinner. Sunday: Full Breakfast and Luncheon.) \nREGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.    \nRead article ASQ9 about the retreat here.
