2010

The Autism Congress will build a consensus statement outlining the existing challenges and providing cost effective, evidence-based solutions. This statement will serve as a national agenda from which an action plan will be devised.

Advancing Futures for Adults with Autism will develop a comprehensive overview of the current program options and opportunities for day, employment, residential and leisure/community involvement for young adults and adults with autism. The conversation will inform and educate participating stakeholders. The Congress will also set forth recommendations for new public policy and changes to existing policy; empower national and regional networks to advance public policy and support of life long living and learning with autism and generate awareness and support through earned media.
