Keri’s talk will provide participants with “power tools” and creative strategies for strengthening skills in communication and collaborations to improve outcomes in advocacy. Whether in an IEP or other planning meeting, working with schools, teachers, administrators, and others to build strong teams of support, to how we communicate with our children, Keri will share her ABC’s of effective communication; ideas for futures planning, and how a more creative YOU can play an essential role in your child’s future.
Keri’s films include Normal People Scare Me, a film about autism, The Sandwich Kid, a film about siblings and disabilities, and ARTS, a film about possibilities, disabilities & the arts. Her workbook “Mapping Transitions to Your Child’s Future is a cornerstone of her talk in this session.

Mapping Transitions to Your Child’s Future
Keri Bowers, mother, advocate and film director, is very excited to discuss her new workbook “Mapping Transitions To Your Child’s Future”, a long overdue resource for parents of children with autism and other special needs. Keri was inspired to create this magnificent fifty-page, hands-on workbook for families after being asked on numerous occasions, “... but how did you get from here to there, Keri? Your son doesn’t even seem like he has autism!” Keri will tell you how to structure your special needs child’s life through a team approach including the siblings, moms, dads, teachers, aides and even the grandparents.
She will walk you through planning summer camps, art expression, and even take you on a discovery interview process with the significant people in your child’s life in which you will learn things about your child you would otherwise never have known. Be sure to come prepared to work in order to design the road map to achieve best possible future for your child forever. You will walk away thinking, “Oh my gosh! I can now put this in place the minute I arrive home from the conference with new, possibilities and opportunities for my child and family. Keri demonstrates that truly amazing things are possible for all people... you just have to give them the right tools.
