Time is not your friend when working with children on the autism spectrum. Recent studies suggest the impact of early intervention can vastly improve outcomes, result in fewer communication and developmental delays, and possibly even eliminate symptoms – but timing is crucial. This seminar is designed to help attendees identify early indicators of ASD that are often missed and build time-critical support systems for fostering academic readiness, empathy, emotional regulation, and impulse control during the most formative years. Interactive labs, videos, and case studies bring to life an effective multimodal approach as Susan Hamre, director of the Autism Trainer Center near Chicago, demonstrates real world applications and outcomes of today’s most effective early intervention strategies.

Susan Hamre, MA, CCC/SLP, is an ASHA-certified speech/language pathologist with over 40 years of clinical, teaching, and research experience, specializing in autism interventions within home, school, hospital, and community settings. Since earning her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Northern Michigan University, she has owned and managed a private practice in Santa Fe for more than 25 years, serving individuals from infancy to adulthood, with an emphasis on developmental disabilities, ASD, and various other challenging conditions.
Additionally, Ms. Hamre is the director of the Autism Training Center at Giant Steps (a therapeutic day school for individuals with ASD) near Chicago, Illinois. She is a frequently requested speaker who has provided numerous continuing education trainings across the country on ASD. In her spare time, she has made five Operation Smile mission trips – four to the Philippines and one to Africa. While those trips were medical in nature (cleft lip and palate), on every one of those trips, Ms. Hamre helped identify the existence of probable autism, steered families in the right direction, and supported medical personnel in discovering how best to work with this unique population. Those situations underscore her belief that with trained eyes, the unique set of characteristics that cloak ASD can be not only spotted at a very young age, but worked with successfully in all sorts of environments – even when the same language is not being spoken.
