We all recognise the benefits of attending conferences, seminars and workshops to keep up-to-date on the latest research and learning in our particular field of interest. Professional staff and parents need to take time out to refresh our knowledge and take on new perspectives.
The Red Door's own autism conference has been re-scheduled for later in this school year. But we want to let you know of other conferences, both home and abroad.
If you want a specific event to be included below, please let us know. We also keep note of recent autism conferences, in case you want to look up their web-sites, and we invite anyone who attended these to pass on their comments or reviews.
