Today we're premiering a 2011 presentation from Stephen Shore, EdD at our World Conference! In "Obstacles to Opportunity," Dr. Shore encourages us to reframe how we look at autism, and turn characteristics of autism that we may have seen as obstacles into opportunities. If you want to hear more from Dr. Shore, we encourage you to check out our 2021 World Autism Conference and Gala this September, where he will be a keynote speaker!
Dr. Shore was diagnosed with "Atypical Development and strong autistic tendencies." Viewed as "too sick" for outpatient treatment, he was even recommended for institutionalization. Nonverbal until four, and with much support from his parents, teachers, wife, and others, Stephen is now a professor at Adelphi University where his research focuses on matching best practice to the needs of people with autism.
In addition to working with children and talking about life on the autism spectrum, Stephen is internationally renowned for presentations, consultations and writings on lifespan issues pertinent to education, relationships, employment, advocacy, and disclosure. His most recent book, "College for Students with Disabilities" combines personal stories and research for promoting success in higher education.
An Advisory Board member of US Autism Association, Dr. Shore is also a board member of Autism Speaks, president emeritus of the Asperger’s Association of New England, and advisory board member of the Autism Society. Dr. Shore serves on the boards of the Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism Association, the Scientific Counsel of OAR, and other autism related organizations.
