At the forefront of our minds is ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our clients, our staff and the wider community. As a result of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus), we have decided to defer the date of our Autism Conference Series with Dr Stephen Shore, from 29 May 2020 to Friday 26 February 2021 to ensure you still have the opportunity for a face to face experience. We have worked with Dr Stephen Shore to ensure all other aspects will remain the same, including the program and venue.
PRESENTER PROFILE
Dr Stephen Shore is an internationally renowned educator, consultant, and author on lifespan issues in the area of education, relationships, employment, and self-advocacy. Currently the Professor of Special Education at Adelphi University in America, he is known for his ground-breaking work in the autism field. Stephen is also now a powerful autistic advocate for the wider community.
