Just imagine if there was a place and an event where parents and caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorders could learn about effective interventions – both biomedical and educational – while enjoying a breathtaking mountain setting. That place and event exists. It is in Park City, Utah and the event is the US Autism & Asperger Association (USAAA) International Conference, August 9-12, 2006. 

With 34 speakers, USAAA has assembled leading experts on autism and Asperger's Syndrome that focus on ways to improve the quality of life for the affected individuals and their families/caregivers by conducting presentations in the areas of biomedical interventions, research, adjunct therapies, diet and nutrition, and family issues. There will be a workshop each for moms and for dads on relaxation, as well as a lecture for moms on how to balance it all. Enjoy a leisure evening with a book discussion group.  Parents can choose between a dip into the mysteries of methylation or a dip in the pool - a fresh breath of mountain air or a lecture on hyperbaric oxygen - a view of the pristine mountains or a new perspective on primitive reflexes.  And USAAA is fortunate that the renowned National Ability Center will have experienced staff available to accommodate 50 children with autism (ages 5 and older) whose parents choose to bring them to the conference and who would like their children to participate in programs at the NAC.
