Autism One 2005 ConferenceMay 26 - 29Chicago Marriott O'Hare Hotelhttp://AutismOne.org

The most comprehensive conference on autism ever assembled now offers greater focus to help you address specific needs, shorten your learning curve, and bring you quickly up to speed.

Most Comprehensive Questions and answers do not stop at the boundary of a discipline. Multivariate in presentation and cure autism bows to the collective weight of doctors working with therapists working with educators working with parents working to recover their children.

Our children benefit from an inter-disciplinary approach. Autism One 2005 is proud to feature over 100 of the leading experts presenting in four tracks to help you make the best decisions: 1. Biomedical Treatments2. Behavior / Communication / Education Therapies3. Complementary and Alternative Medicine 4. Government / Legal / Personal Issues

We are pleased Kirby, author of Evidence of Harm, will deliver the keynote address. has written a fascinating book chronicling much of our community's recent history, including the big picture power plays, while detailing the struggle and obstacles each of us as parents face. Greater FocusThis year we are introducing a number of important changes to provide what we are calling a "lived experience". Conferences have a tendency to talk at you. That's not good enough. Real learning occurs at a deeper level; a level that combines the abstract with the practical.

Initiatives include:1. The Mentor Program: You may request a mentor. Mentors are fellow-parents with recovered children or children well on their way to recovery. 2. Three Mini-Tracks: 1. Parents New to the diagnosis; 2. Puberty, Adolescence and Adulthood, and 3. Environmental Medicine/Issues are available. 3. Pre-Conference Day, GFCF and SCD - Culinary Delight: The Pre-Conference day is devoted to hands-on cooking to take the mystery out of gluten- casein-free, and specific carbohydrate diets.4. Gluten/Casein free items on breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus: Menu options will include gluten- and casein-free for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Have a taste, it's good.
