Autism Spectrum Disorder Presentation

  • Ride for Joy 4909 West Idaho Boulevard Emmett, ID, 83617 United States (map)

Join us at the barn for a free presentation on Autism Spectrum Disorders. The presenter is Ivan Hardcastle, OTR.

Mr. Hardcastle has a Masters of Occupational Therapy from Idaho State University.  He has worked at the University of Utah Hospital inpatient rehabilitation center and the Boise Elks Pediatric outpatient clinic.  He currently provides services at Primary Therapy Source in Twin Falls and Burley and has extensive education and training in the treatment of ASD.  

Ivan presented on ASD at the Idaho PATH conference to high praise and has agreed to bring his knowledge to us.

This presentation came out of requests from staff and volunteers to better understand how to work with our many riders who are "on the spectrum."  It is being provided for free, but donations will be accepted to assist in paying the presenter.

Please invite anyone who would benefit from learning about this mental illness.  RSVP to hminer@rideforjoy.org by 10/17, please, so seats can be prepared.
