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. William Walsh, Dr. Jeff Bradstreet,
Dr. Andy Wakefield, Dr. Sudhir Gupta, and Dr. William 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
(CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and Institute of Medicine
