Conference Description:
The Autism Institute presents national and international experts to talk
about personalized supports for children, adolescents and adults with the
autism label. Real supports start with understanding the true nature of
autism for each individual and the teaching, social, and fun accommodations
from choosing toys to mentoring staff to support communication and success
on the job. Come join us for a truly unique experience!
