Translate is a volunteer-run organisation addressing the needs of all people affected by Asperger Syndrome in adults. Its central focus is to break down the barriers to understanding between those with the condition and those without.
The Loughborough-based group was launched in June 2008 by husband and wife Paul and Jo Sandford, after Paul was diagnosed with the condition in his early forties (supported by the Leicestershire branch of the National Autistic Society).
Translate is holding a one-day conference on Friday 18th May from 9.30am to 4pm called 'Communication and Asperger Syndrome - Issues and Strategies' at Loughborough Town Hall, Market Place, Loughborough, LE11 3EB - for anyone with the condition, their friends and family and people with an interest in Asperger Sydrome including professionals, charities and volunteers.
Guest speakers will include Brenda Smith Myles, a Consultant at the Ohio Center for Autism and Low Incidence and Dr Luke Beardon, a Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University.
The event will also include a range of practical workshops.
Tickets cost £30 for individuals with Asperger Syndrome and their friends/family and £90 for professionals with an interest in the condition.
