From Hercules to CIRSIE on December 6th - notice on paper concerned with turning classical myth into a learning opportunity for autistic children

As I've reported briefly on this blog already - and a more detailed report is forthcoming! - I've recently spoken about my Herculean resources for use with autistic children to two distinct audiences.

One was a group of experts in autism, in the Adam Room at Roehampton. The other was a group of classicists at a conference at the University of Reading.

In addition, earlier this week I discussed the resources in a class with my second year Myths and Mythology students. And, above all, I went into a local primary school's autism unit last month and did some activities with students there to pilot-test the resources. I'll say more about these activities soon. The reason I'm posting now is as follows.

Next week, I shall be sharing the resources with a different audience again. I shall be giving a paper to CIRSIE: The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research on Special and Inclusive Education at Roehampton. I'm excited at the prospect of receiving their expert feedback.
