UNB Atlantic Provinces Autism Conference on November 08-09, 2023 in Fredericton, Canada

The theme of this year's conference is "Autistic Wellness".

According to the Global Wellness Institute, to promote wellness is to choose to do things that will lead to optimal health and wellbeing. Wellness is made up of many things, including physical mental, emotional, behavioural, and social health, among others. For many years, researchers and practitioners have used deficit reduction and medical models in an attempt to bring autistic people out of a state of poor physical, mental, emotional, behavioural, and social health. The future will require researchers and practitioners focus on helping Autistic people into a state of wellness.

This year's UNB Atlantic Provinces Autism Conference (UNB APAC) will explore how we all can transition to wellness as a goal.

Who should attend?

UNB APAC is for individuals on the Autism Spectrum, their family members, behavior analysts, medical professionals such as nurses and physicians, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists, faculty and researchers, teachers, intervention staff, support workers, and all other stakeholders interested in Autism Spectrum Disorders.
