Autism Canada and KidsAbility announce, thanks in part to a grant from SickKids Foundation, that this years autism conference, “Changing the Course of Autism”, is available FREE via webcast. The webcast is scheduled to air Friday, October 14th and Saturday, October 15 at 8:30 a.m. EST (6:30am MST)
The presentations are available for download before and after the conference on the Autism Canada Foundation Website.
Autism Calgary is hosting a theatre projection of the online webcast of this awesome conference. Come and watch this conference alongside other families and join in on our discussions during the breaks – lunch and snacks provided. Attend all or drop in to view your favourite speaker. In 2010 the Changing The Course of Conference was held in Calgary cosponsored by Autism Calgary and Autism Canada Foundation. The 2011 conference, being held in Kitchener Ontario, features some of the same great presenters plus some others.
If you are not able to join us at our office, you can view this conference online from your own home: <sorry, the link is no longer valid>. (Though – it will be more fun if you join us!)
The conference features lectures related to clinical and basic science, educational therapies, advocating for autism and much more.
