Autism One Conference, May 2 – 4, 2003, Loyola University Chicago
The Most Comprehensive Conference on Autism Ever Assembled
Autism One, the most comprehensive conference on autism ever assembled, will be held May 2 – 4, 2003, at Loyola University Chicago. It is a conference for parents and professionals for the care, treatment, and recovery of children with autism. Our web site
is http://AutismOne.org.
The conference organizers are themselves parents of children with autism. Parents are, and must remain, the driving force of this community. The issues are too sacred and the stakes too high to
delegate to outside interests.
Meet Officials from the NIH and CDC
High-ranking officials from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will present, answer questions and explain the government's present and future projects for fighting autism. Meet Dr. Steve Foote from the NIH and Dr.
