Ft. Lauderdale, Florida – Jonathan Tarbox, PhD, BCBA, Research and Development Director at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (CARD) will speak at the National Autism Conference (NAC) on Thursday, November 13, 2008, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Weston, Florida. His presentation begins at 7:00pm. Dr. Tarbox will present, “It’s Dad Time: A Seminar on Parenting, Playing, and Coping for Fathers of Children on the Spectrum.” Parenting is the toughest job anyone can have. The hopes, fears, anxiety, exhaustion, frustration, and happiness that parenting brings are unmatched by any other human activity.
In this seminar especially for fathers of children on the autism spectrum, Dr. Tarbox will discuss strategies for successful day-to-day parenting, ways to have more fu
n with your kids, and strategies for coping with the challenges men face, all with respect to the unique experience of being a dad. Mothers often do much of the parenting, and often get the most recognition for it, but dads have a very unique experience - equally challenging and stressful in its own ways - this seminar is designed to address some of the things that make a dad’s experience what it is. “I’m excited to have the opportunity to do a seminar specifically for fathers. Fathers of kids on the spectrum are a group that is not directly addressed very often so it should be a nice opportunity to disseminate useful information and for attendees to share their unique perspectives.” Tarbox says.
