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 autismone.orgautismone.orgOpen ↗.
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
