The National Center for Technology Innovation (NCTI) is hosting the Technology Innovators Conference in Washington, DC on November 20 and 21, 2008 at the Madison Hotel. This conference will include technology developers, researchers, technology vendors, policymakers, OSEP projects, and the media. Online registration is now closed. On-site registrations will be accepted.
The conference offers 2 days of informative presentations and an expo which will offer the following opportunities:
- Discuss solutions for pressing issues with internationally renowned speakers: Of particular interest to me are the panel on the future of global computing, lunch with Speaker Thomas Perez, online learning & mobile device learning.
- Experience and “test drive” the latest global technology innovations through the Tech Expo, an interactive showcase of instructional and assistive technology tools and devices for students with special needs. TeachTown production and research will be presented in the expo, along with some introductory information on Team Up with Timo products and research.
- Network with thought leaders who are transforming the international market through public/private partnerships at the Innovators Marketplace.

I am currently coordinating a business resource center in which we provide free counseling and other resources for emerging and established businesses. I am working with an adult client who has Asperger Syndrome. The center is located within a technical training institution but doesn’t have a component to deal with special needs or learning styles. I observe various levels of social/communication skills with students in the computer sciences.
Does anyone have any experience or advice for helping a person with Asperger’s or other forms of autism attend technical training coursework?
Are there subjects that would be of help in training a person with autism for opening and operating a business, i.e. interpersonal skills?
Can you direct me to agencies/ institutions that may have programs already in place for continuing education for adults with autism?
