IX International Congress Autism-Europe: A future for autism
Provider
Event Date
8th October 2010 - 10th October 2010
Venue
Centro Culturale “Le Ciminiere”,, Viale Africa, Catania, Sicily
Details
The main theme of the Congress ‘A Future for Autism’ will build on the most recent advances in scientific knowledge and contemporary approaches to disability in order to investigate the best possible future for persons with ASD and their families. Over the years, persons with ASD have been the target of false beliefs and they and their families have constantly suffered the consequences of unreliable treatments. Autism Europe has made every effort to divulge reliable, evidence-based information through collaboration with important professional organisations such as IACAPAP and ESCAP. We ensure the high scientific quality of our international congresses through the support and participation of internationally renowned experts in the field of ASD. The IX international Congress Autism-Europe will again bring together an interdisciplinary forum to examine state-of-the-art scientific knowledge and current cultural approaches in the field of ASD. The radical innovation that has taken place in recent years will make this Congress too important to be missed. The call for papers on Neurosciences and Cognitive Functioning, Neurobiology, Epidemiology and Genetics, Treatment and Education, Provision and Services runs from September 2009 to 31st January 2010, and abstracts may be submitted online at http://www.autismeurope2010.org/callforpapers.html
