The National Autism Symposium was a unique, annual event established as a platform for healthcare professionals, educators, social workers, autistic adults, and parents to share evidence-based and practice-based evidence on autism and co-occurring disorders and conditions. The event served as a networking opportunity to foster change at clinical, family, and community levels in South Africa.
In 2024, we celebrate possibilities by exploring innovative approaches and uniting diverse perspectives in autism support and research.
