THANK YOU!
The 2017 Philadelphia Autism Project Conference was held on May 12th at Community Behavioral Health in Philadelphia, PA. There was an overwhelmingly positive response to this conference, with over 160 attendees and speakers including self-advocates, family members, and professionals from throughout the Philadelphia region.
