The International Society of Autism Research (INSAR) comes together on an annual basis to discuss the latest insights in their research. Usually this conference is being held in the United States, but this year, it will be in the Netherlands, in Rotterdam!
Prior to the scientific conference, a special conference for interested parties will be held in Amsterdam, at the Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen. Professionals from the medical and psychological field are welcome to come, as well as people with autism and their family members!
The conference is designed in an autism-friendly way, so every person with autism should be able to come and ‘enjoy’ the conference. There will be places to withdraw, you can bring your assistance dog, you can opt out for photo’s and there will be support to help you with your needs on the location!
You can get your ticket(s) here. People with autism and their family members pay 25 euro, professionals 99 euro. More info on the conference can be found here.
Date: 9th of May 2018
