Occupational therapy practitioners are a key role in working with individuals on the autism spectrum to help them participate in daily routines and integrate into communities. The prevalence and earlier detection of ASD diagnoses continues to rise, along with the greater necessity to understand life transition challenges. It is urgent for our profession to be fully prepared to meet these needs.
Therefore…brought back by popular demand…
The AOTA Autism West Specialty Conference is your greatest opportunity to learn from leading experts in the ASD spectrum field and go home with top-level education and networking connections. After AOTA held its first autism specialty conference in 2010 (on the East Coast), hundreds of attendees let us know right away that we should offer it again, this time on the West Coast!
