The free conference is designed for parents, caregivers, students and practitioners in an effort to effectively address Montana's population of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 of 110 children in America is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, making it more common than pediatric cancer, juvenile diabetes and childhood cancer.

Speakers include board certified behavior analyst Sienna Greener-Wooten, MA, BCBA and autism advocate Joe Mohs. Mohs, who has recovered from autism, will share his personal journey after a screening of the award-winning documentary RECOVERED: Journeys Through the Autism Spectrum and Back.
