INTEGRAL is an Autism conference like no other. It puts adults on the Autism spectrum front and center, not as a subject for others to discuss, but to come together and exchange perspectives with non-Autistic professionals and parents so that everyone can learn from each other.
INTEGRAL is about getting Autistic adults and non-Autistic allies in the same space to learn from each other and to collaborate on real-world issues
Professionasl and caregivers are invited to join us for an immersive workshop where we explore practical strategies and techniques for person-centered autism spectrum disorder support.
