Conference is free and open to the public.

What will be discussed at the conference?
Amid often heated debates over causation and treatment, the depth of commitment and service witnessed daily in the autism community merits celebration; our many challenges invite further reflection. This conference features the varieties of advocacy practiced with and by persons with autism, especially those forms of advocacy grounded in moral and religiou traditions. The presentations offered at this event are intended to encourage additional reflection and discussion by members of the audience. We hope to promote greater engagement with autism advocacy as an integral component of work for social justice.
The conference is lined up with several professional speakers including BlogCadre regular
Kristina Chew.
