3rd Annual Autism Educational Summit Caregiver and Community Day

Join us for a day of learning, connection, and empowerment at the 3rd Annual Autism Educational Summit – Caregiver and Community Day. This full-day event brings together families, caregivers, and community members for meaningful conversations and practical tools centered around the support of autistic children and adolescents.

Hear from knowledgeable speakers and community advocates who will share real-world strategies and the latest insights in autism care, presented in an accessible, inclusive format designed with caregivers and families in mind.

This Summit champions the power of active partnership, uniting individuals with autism, their families, and their healthcare, educational, and community-based teams around a shared commitment to better outcomes. Discussions will span the full continuum of support, including the benefits of early diagnosis, genetic insights, Medic*tion management, sensory and emotional regulation strategies, educational advocacy, caregiver burnout, and guiding adolescents through the critical transition into adulthood.

Through engaging presentations and panel discussions, attendees will leave with:

• A deeper understanding and acceptance of autism
• Awareness of available resources and community support
• Practical tools to strengthen advocacy and caregiving for children with autism and their families
