ACC Autism Conference Cancelled Due to H1N1 verification at UND

Due to confirmed cases of the H1N1 flu strain at the University of North Dakota, the Anne Carlsen Center has cancelled its final autism conference of 2009, set to take place on the university campus.

The conference, "Challenging Behaviors: Interventions and Curriculum" had been planned for Sept. 29-30 at UND’s Memorial Student Union. Refunds will be provided to individuals who registered. For additional information, please contact Margie Johnson, HR director at the Anne Carlsen Center, at 701-952-5106 or 1-800-568-5175.

At this time, a make-up date for the Grand Forks conference has not been scheduled. Look for updates at www.annecenter.org regarding this—and future—trainings provided by ACC.

Each year ACC schedules large-scale, multiple-day conferences in communities throughout North Dakota. Parents and professionals glean insight and resources from nationally-recognized experts in the field of Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is the second year for ACC’s major conferences, which have taken place in the communities of Jamestown, Bismarck, Fargo and Grand Forks.

The Anne Carlsen Center offers a rich tradition of empowering individuals with disabilities and their families. Its experienced staff provides compassion, training, services and supports on its campus in Jamestown, and in homes and communities across North Dakota.
