Autism One 2004 Conference, May 27 - 30, 2004, Chicago

The Most Comprehensive Conference on Autism Ever Assembled

Autism One 2004, the most comprehensive conference on autism ever assembled,

will be held May 27 - 30, 2004, in Chicago. It is a conference for parents

and professionals for the care, treatment, and recovery of children with

autism. Our web site is http://AutismOne.org.

The conference organizers are themselves parents of children with autism.

Parents are, and must remain, the driving force of our community. The issues

are too sacred and the stakes too high to delegate to outside interests.

Keynote Address

Congressman Dave Weldon, MD will deliver the keynote address. Dave Weldon, a

physician by training, has been for the past several years, and continues to

be one of the autism community's staunchest supporters on Capital Hill.

More than 100 Presentations - World's Leading Authorities

Autism One features many of the world's leading researchers, educators,

practitioners, agencies, and parents. Featuring over 100 speakers including

such experts as Dr. Boyd Haley, Dr. Walsh, Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, Dr.

Andy Wakefield, Dr. Sudhir Gupta, and Dr. Shaw, among others. Learn

about the latest treatments, your rights when dealing with school districts,

the best ways to handle insurance companies, how to petition government

agencies, along with a host of other pressing issues. In addition, leading

parent-advocates and autism organizations will be on hand to present and

inform.

Special Conference Prep Day

Autism One is even more comprehensive with a special Conference Prep Day,

Thursday, May 27, to help you get more out of the conference and understand

autism at a broader and deeper level. It will be a day of lofty ideas and

practical everyday applications.

High-ranking officials from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
