We are excited to announce that Paul Louden will be a
special guest speaker at the upcoming parent training in Bali on February 24-27,
2014.
Paul was diagnosed with Asperger’s at the age of 23 and has been speaking about his views and life experiences as co-host of the Understanding Autism radio show and at conferences since late 2010. His young life was spent visiting and living in many different countries, which has given him the opportunity to see a variety of cultures and helps him to think about and speak about his condition from a unique perspective. Paul will speak about how he and his family embraced the RDI Lifestyle and how it has impacted all of their lives over the past eight years.
This 4-day parent training training will be held at the world renowned Hotel Pullman Bali Legian Nirwana, a beachfront resort providing the ideal environment for this focused training program. With Balinese hospitality, beautiful and relaxing atmosphere, the hotel features the latest technology in fully-equipped meeting rooms. Minutes from the airport and oceanfront on Kuta Beach, the hotel is within walking distance of the city and all its amenities. The hotel is also a family friendly facility with child care center on the premise and a large children's pool.
