Michael Rosanoff of Autism Speaks in New York City will be speaking to the general public on Wednesday, 29 March 2017 at 10am at the Hotel InterContinental on Av. Winston Churchill. He is visiting as part of the collaboration with the Office of the First Lady to promote awareness, research and parent-training programs.
Dominican First Lady Candida Montilla in November 2015 had signed an agreement for the country to partner in the Autism Speaks Global Autism Public Health (GAPH) initiative that is coordinated by Rosanoff.
Through the agreement, the Dominican Republic is participating in field trials of the Parent Skills Training program developed by Autism Speaks and the World Health Organization (WHO).
First Lady Candida Montilla supervises the Integral Disabilities Care Center Program that delivers services to children with developmental disabilities and provides training to parents and caregivers. There are three of these centers located in Santo Domingo, Santiago and San Juan de la Maguana. Others are planned for Santo Domingo East and San Pedro de Macoris.
