Robert Montgomery,
Ph.D., BCBA-D, Director
Reinforcement Unlimited, Woodstock, GA
A trip to Walt
Disney World can be a Dream come true or a nightmare for any family, and often
planning is what makes the difference between the two experiences. When
you are travelling with a person with an Autism Spectrum disorder planning is
even more crucial. This presentation will review WDW’s policies regarding
people with disabilities, what is required, what is possible, and how to
approach the process. The presenter is an annual pass holder, frequent WDW
visitor and a psychologist who has written letters to qualify families for
accommodations at WDW.
Session Objectives:
• Participants will gain an appreciation for the nature of
planning a very large trip to a new and very stimulating environment
• Participants will gain a beginning understanding of the resources readily
available to them in putting such a trip together
• Participants will learn how to propose accommodations to the venue and how to
specifically access those offered by WDW

Robert Montgomery,
Ph.D., BCBA-D, Director
Reinforcement Unlimited, Woodstock, GA
Tics are often
a co-occurring issue for people on the Autism Spectrum. They can impair
the persons ability to engage socially and in more intense presentations can
even cause injury and pose safety risks to the person. Behavior Therapy is
the only non-drug intervention for tic disorders with empirical support.
Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics represents the state-of-the-art
in non-drug interventions for Tic disorders. Participants will learn the
basic elements of CBIT and how to access more detailed treatment information.
Session Objectives:
• Participants will gain an appreciation for the nature of
Tics and options for their treatment
• Participants will gain a beginning understanding of the principles of the CBIT
approach to treating Tics
• Participants will learn how to access qualified therapists and obtain more
detailed information on CBIT
