Memorial and Symposium in Honor of Edward G. Carr
Thursday, October 22, 2009

To be held November 8 at Stony Brook

As many in the autism community know, Dr. Edward (Ted) Carr and his wife were killed in a car accident earlier this year. Ted was a friend, colleague, teacher, and mentor to hundreds of professionals and students around the globe. His pioneering work in the areas of severe problem behavior and positive behavior support informs the work of every person currently working in the field of autism intervention. The Psychology Department of Stony Brook University is sponsoring a memorial to honor the work and life of Ted Carr on Sunday, November 8 from 2-5 p.m at the Student Activities Center (SAC) Auditorium at SBU. Several of Ted’s collaborators from around the country as well as former students and local colleagues will pay tribute to Ted and his work. Speakers will include Dr. Mark Durand, Dr. Rob Horner, Dr. Glen Dunlap, and Dr. Laura Schreibman, as well as Ted’s friends, colleagues, graduate students, undergraduate students, and family members. Ted touched many lives and all are welcome to attend.

Registration is free; please complete the RSVP form on the Psychology Department website to confirm your attendance: www.psychology.stonybrook.edu.
