ADULT SERVICES SESSION

The Autistic Global Initiative, a program sponsored by ARI, anounces its one-day conference track devoted to issues and concerns related to adults on the spectrum and those who support them. The Autistic Global Initiative is a collaborative of individuals with autism who provide in-house advisory, consulting services to ARI, as well as to other organizations in the disability community. Make sure to stop by the Autistic Global Initiative's booth in the vendors' hall, where you can meet and greet members of the collaborative and ask questions about adult services and concerns..
