What past attendees say
‘Marvelous to catch up with everyone – and to be able to discuss the sessions afterwards.’
‘We have come back from the conference feeling validated, more confident, and connected. We wish that we had been attending previously.’
‘Where to start?! It was such a fantastic experience. I am so grateful that we were offered the opportunity to share our experiences and to help, perhaps encourage health professionals to re-evaluate needs and treatment for this group. I have come away feeling that I am part of an incredibly strong and educated community and am now in a much better position to be able to advocate for my boys. I feel so much more hopeful and better informed.’
