Autism Vancouver Biennial Congress 2009 is your opportunity
to highlight your company's or agency's programs, products and services to a
group of parents or caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorders
including Asperger's Syndrome and individuals with
ASD. The biennial
conference provides comprehensive, evidence-based information to assist
parents, family members, caregivers, physicians, educators, therapists, social
workers, nurses, and other professionals in building effective interventions
for all individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
MISSION:
The theme of
this Symposium will be Autism Spectrum Disorder "Across the Lifespan."
The theme reflects the reality that autism spectrum disorder presents an
evolving set of personal, familial, societal, and therapeutic issues as
affected individuals pass from infancy and childhood through adolescence,
adulthood, and into later life. The theme reflects the belief of the
organizing committee that adopting a life-span perspective is a fundamental
requirement for developing a set of comprehensive services to individuals and
families who are dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The Congress is an ideal opportunity for organizations to
connect with those who focus their energies, in either a personal or
professional capacity, on meeting the challenges faced by individuals with
autism spectrum disorder.
