REI Creator Jeff Strong Speaking at USAAA Conference in Tucson July 30th

Jeff Strong is presenting at the 2015 US Autism & Asperger Association 10th Annual World Conference in Tucson, AZ July 30-August 1, 2015

Based upon his recent memoir, Different Drummer: One Man’s Music and Its Impact on ADD, Anxiety, and Autism, Jeff will speak about calm, anxiety reduction, and the development of REI.

He writes, “When I began my exploration of therapeutic drumming in 1983, I was fortunate to study with a teacher who showed me how to calm aggressive behavior with fast, complex drumming. This experience became important years later when we were doing a study with adults on the autism spectrum.”

Jeff is joining a distinguished line up of presenters including Temple Grandin, William Shaw, and Stephen Shore. Here is a breakdown of the conference schedule
