ForwardThe 20th Anniversary of Baptist Hospital’s Annual Autism Conference - Autism Science at Autism Speaks: Highlights and Emerging Priorities
The prevalence of autism has increased significantly over the past two decades. While this increase may be largely attributed to broader diagnostic criteria and an increase in overall awareness of autism, it nonetheless means there has never been a greater need to gain a better understanding of this condition that affects so many.
We are proud to announce that we will be hosting the 20th Anniversary of Baptist Hospital’s Annual Autism Conference. Our guest speaker, Dr. Andy Shih from Autism Speaks, and our moderator, Dr. Michael Alessandri from University of Miami, will discuss how Autism Speaks is committed to providing each person’s and families with resources to meet their unique needs throughout every stage of life.

Learning Objectives
- Assess key initiatives in basic, clinical and public health research at Autism Speaks poised to impact services and care for individuals across the spectrum.
