Victorian Autism Conference

The second biennial Victorian Autism Conference will be held on August 9th and 10th 2012 at The Sebel Albert Park, Melbourne.

It will also be streamed live to nine venues in regional Victoria.

This two day event is targeted at professionals, families and individuals with an interest in autism spectrum disorders and will cover a number of topics right across the lifespan. The theme for VAC 2012 is Knowledge, understanding and awareness across the spectrum.

We are delighted to announce our keynote speakers, world renowned ASD experts Tony Attwood and Carol Gray,and educator Sue Larkey. We are also very pleased to introduce Jonathan Petty, an individual with ASD from New Zealand, who will speak about his experiences of living with ASD. We will also hear from his family about some of the joys and challenges of bringing up a child with autism, and the impacts it can have on the family.

Presentations will be divided into four streams covering the life stages of early childhood, primary school years, adolescence and adulthood.
