Milestones 12th Annual Autism Spectrum Disorder Conference

Milestones Autism Resources' 12th Annual Autism Spectrum
Disorder Conference brings family members and leading experts in the field of
autism together to share evidence-based practical strategies and best
practices. Attendees will engage in 70-plus educational workshops focusing on
field-tested ideas and be inspired by the national keynotes. The Conference is
also a great opportunity to network and visit dozens of exhibits featuring
autism-specific products and services.

New this year:

Medical Track:

For the first time, medical professionals including
physicians, nurses, and physical assistants can earn Continuing Medical
Education (CME) in Medical Track sessions. These educational workshops will
increase the knowledge, skills, and relationships that medical professionals
use to provide services to patients with autism. The Medical Track sessions
will be on day two, Thursday, of the Conference.

Employment Track:

Thursday will also hold the new Employment Track for
adults with autism spectrum disorder, families, job coaches, employment
specialists, and transition coordinators. Participants will learn hands-on
strategies that will support adults with ASD in the workplace. Workshop topics
include: hard skills get you hired and soft skills get you fired, practical
tips and strategies for job coaches, maximizing a student’s transition years in
high school to lay the foundation for employment, and more.

Exclusive Parent
Features:

This year parents will have a separate check-in area at
the Conference Center and staff will be readily available to guide them in
selecting which workshops to attend. Parents will also have the option of
attending a special networking luncheon.
