The National Autism Conference of 2007 will be in Atlanta, GA from Nov 8 through Nov 11.
http://www.nationalautismconference.org/
In response to the growing needs of families and professionals impacted by autism, we have assembled the “best of the best” in terms of conference presenters and relevant topics.
From cutting-edge research of environmental toxins to dietary interventions, legal and legislative strategies to estate planning, the world’s most renowned experts will gather to share their knowledge and expertise with parents and practitioners.
We have also lined up some very special events surrounding our presentation schedule to allow you well-earned time for relaxing with old friends and meeting new ones.
NAA is the leading organization for breaking through the myths of autism as a mysterious and incurable disorder. Recognizing that the future of those with an autism diagnosis can no longer rely on raising awareness alone, we are committed to empowering parents and caregivers with the most up-to-date resources available to enable all affected individuals to reach their full potential.
Here is the conference schedule:
