Who should attend? The target audience is parents, caregivers, family members and professionals who have responsibilities to plan and care for late teens and adults with substantially disabling autism and related DDs.

What is the new $10 afternoon option? We added an option for access to the Resource Fair from 1-4pm only. This does not include classroom sessions, lunch, or tote bag.
Are there virtual attendance options? No. Because we have no plenary speakers this year and focus on the interactive resource fair and classroom sessions, we are not offering virtual attendance options.
Will the sessions be recorded? Many of them, yes, but not all, and we will omit all Q&A. The recorded sessions will be available about two weeks after the conference. Again, we are not guaranteeing that any particular recording will be available.
