Event Information
Description
Little Lessons Australia is proud to announce a seminar with Professor Robyn Young.
Professor Robyn Young - School of Psychology, Flinders University
Professor Young’s early research in the 90’s which involved Savant Syndrome led to a series of publications in key journals and was the subject of a one-hour documentary “Uncommon Genius”. Over the past 20 years her research has focused on intervention and detection of children and adults with autism. Her work includes four books: Autism Detection in Early Childhood (ADEC, 2007), The structured program for early childhood therapists working with Autism (SPECTRA; ACER Press; 2009) Ready Set Learn (Moffat and Young, 2017) and Autism and Crime: Myths and Mechanisms. In more recent years she has been asked to assess older individuals and provide expertise in court reports as an expert witness.
