Autism conference to take place at UU
An international conference focusing on autism is set to take place at the University of Ulster in December.
World leaders in Applied Behavioural Analysis will meet to discuss developments and latest research on the subject.
The conference will bring together an international panel of experts, including Dr Bobby Newman, President of the Association for Science in Autism Treatment and Dr Gina Green, a leading expert ABA from San Diego, to share their knowledge with parents and professionals in Ireland to help children and young people.
Dr Mickey Keenan from the School of Psychology at UU said: “This is a great opportunity to meet leaders in the field of autism and to hear why the science-based approach of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is recognised as the treatment of choice.
“As a whole, the two days will offer an important chance for families and professionals to ask a panel of world-wide experts questions and hear first-hand the latest developments on the subject and make contact with other people who also have a relative with autism”, he said.
