About this Event
The Inaugural Autism Educational Summit 2024 invites parents, caregivers, teachers, and community members to our Autism Educational Summit – Family and Community Day!
Hear from experts at Phoenix Children’s about topics including innovative medical care, educational rights and support, program initiatives, and how to connect with local and national resources. Additionally, stakeholders in the community will offer information to help families and healthcare professionals best advocate for and support youth with autism.
Our goal is for you to leave with a better understanding of autism, medical care for co-occurring conditions, and resources available to you and your family. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of our specialists and connect with other members of our Phoenix area autism community!
Please join us for this free public event on autism education. This conference underscores the importance of active partnership between autistic youth, their families, and their healthcare, educational, and community-based teams.
The Inaugural Autism Educational Summit 2024 – Family and Community Day will be offered in-person and virtually.
