The Autism Society of America recognizes that families and individuals
living with an autism spectrum disorder have a range of issues and
needs. The National Conference of the Autism Society of America is the
only conference that addresses the range of issues, including early
intervention, education, employment, behavior, communication, social
skills, biomedical interventions and others, across the entire lifespan.
Bringing together the expertise and experiences of family members,
professionals and individuals on the spectrum, attendees are able to
learn how to more effectively advocate and obtain supports for the
individual with ASD. The ultimate goal is to empower family members,
individuals on the spectrum and professionals to make informed
decisions.
