A LITTLE ABOUT LOU
Lou is a professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Psychology and Special Education at the University of Wisconsin. In the field of education his efforts have been focused upon developing service delivery models, curricula and values that prepare students with disabilities to live, work and play in integrated society. His dream is that someday soon all persons with disabilities will live in decent family style settings, will produce real work in the real world next to coworkers who are not disabled, will enjoy rich and varied recreational lives with community members who are and are not disabled and will function in the wide array of integrated community environments they would experience if they were not disabled.
Many years ago he expressed his belief that citizens with significant disabilities could and should become contributing members of integrated society. Accordingly, he called for the termination of institutions, special schools and classes, group homes, sheltered workshops, activity centers, work enclaves and other manifestations of segregation. Many considered these views radical or extreme. They are now generally recognized as reasonable, decent and realizable.

Fostering Mutual Friendships for Children with ASD
October 19, 2005
The purpose of this session was to illustrate the principles and practices of the Friend 2 Friend Program. F2F is designed to foster mutual friendships between children on the autism spectrum and their typical peers. The participants were encouraged to empathize with "what it feels like to have autism." F2F provided strategies for use in homes, schools and daycares to foster mutual friendships between children with autism and their peers.
