This is our 5th year for this amazing event! Our name has changed but our focus is still about biomedical interventions for autism. Connect with local parents and practitioners for a one day conference exploring the current medical therapies available for individuals with autism and related disorders. Also featuring vendors, giveaways and Q&A sessions.

Registration will begin at 8:30, with the event to begin at 9. For those of you coming from out of state, we are on Eastern Time. Lunch will be from 12 to 1. Boxed lunches are available to purchase with your registration before 4/10/18. After that date, you will not be able to order a boxed lunch. Boxed lunches include a sandwich, chips, cookie, and drink. Those who do not purchase a lunch with registration may bring their own lunch or visit nearby restaurants on their own.
