Our 34th annual Autism Connections Conference in downtown Springfield, MA is on April 30! This conference is for you if you are a social worker, agency professional, educator, medical professional, therapist, family, friend, caregiver, or are autistic yourself.
The day-long conference features a keynote address by an autistic psychologist, a variety of 18 breakout topics in three sessions, and an exhibitor showcase to collect resources and find supports. Tickets include breakfast, a snack break, and a networking lunch. Once again, we’ll also have a quiet sensory room to decompress and recharge.
Professional credits (PDPs, ABA credits and, pending approval, CEUs) are available for professionals working in the autism field.
