Why attend

One conference, four lenses on the same child.

Autism and neurodevelopmental conditions sit at the intersection of clinical practice, research, policy and family life. The programme is built around all four — deliberately, in the same room.

01

Clinical Practice

Diagnostic pathways, therapy protocols and case-based sessions led by working clinicians and allied health professionals.

02

Research

Peer-reviewed abstracts and posters from South Asian and international researchers in neurodevelopmental science.

03

Policy & Advocacy

Panels with government, NSDA and disability-rights organisations on service access and inclusive education policy.

04

Family Voices

Parent- and caregiver-led sessions grounding every panel in lived experience, not just literature.

Programme

A day, mapped to the minute.

Four parallel tracks after the opening plenary — pick sessions freely across all of them with a single delegate badge.
