Our goal is to present a conference with a variety of resources, options, and topics related to Autism Spectrum Disorders. Everyone's autism experience is unique and what works for one, may not work for all. Whether you learn something for today or are able to save the information for a later time, we hope you gain something new by attending. We hope by attending you will gain new information that will help an individual with autism progress and help prevent the bullying that occurs when people don't understand the disorder. Conference is held at the Younes Conference Center on August 24th. Rotary members are encouraged to attend and help raise awareness in the community. Extra funds will go toward operating expenses for Operation Shine Camp which is held in June. The camp promotes inclusion for all individuals.
