Funds raised from this event will be used to purchase books on autism that will be distributed to rural Alaskan public and school libraries.

Here’s how you can support this book fair:

Come into the store, browse for books you’d like to buy, and enjoy the activities! Say hello to us at the information table and at the activity areas in the children’s area. We’d love to meet you and talk to you about the Resource Center and the library.

When you are ready to buy your books, DVDs, or even a snack at the café, just say that you support the book fair, or present a voucher.

You don’t pay any more for your books, or any less, but a percentage of your purchase will be donated to the AARC by Barnes & Noble.

The Autism 200 series class is Thursday 2/16/2012 at 6pm AKST. We also attached the 2012 schedule because there has been a change in classes. Due to speaker conflicts we have swapped the June and September speakers – all other details (dates, times, locations) are the same, this change is in the updated schedule attached.

Early Childhood Outcomes Data under IDEA; A presentation and National Update from The Early Childhood Outcomes Center

In February 2011, state agencies overseeing early intervention and preschool special education submitted required data on child outcomes to the Office of Special Education Programs for the fourth time. The background for the national data collection will be presented along with the approaches states are using to collect these data. Analyses of the national data will be shared and discussed with particular attention to the questions of whether the data are trustworthy and, if so, what these data say about the effectiveness of IDEA services for young children with disabilities.

The AFN Convention is the largest representative annual gathering in the United States of any Native peoples. Delegates are elected on a population formula of one representative per twenty-five Native residents in the area and delegate participation rates at the annual convention typically exceed 95%. 4,000–5,000 delegates attend each year, and the proceedings are broadcast live via television, radio and webcast reaching Alaska Natives and non-Natives alike from Barrow to Ketchikan, from the Aleutian Chain to the Canadian border. During the convention, the entire state of Alaska is blanketed with discussion on current events and issues. International observers are present at most meetings, both exchanging information and learning from the Alaska Native experience.
