OAR Conference Goes on the Road

OAR is heading back on the road for its conference on the road in 2012. Part of OAR’s mission is to get the latest research-based information into the hands of those who need it most. Last year was the first year for the conference on the road and prior to that had held eight annual conferences in Arlington, Va., covering autism topics across the spectrum and throughout the lifespan.  While the conference consistently earned high marks for its speakers and content, it fell short of the mark with respect to its reach.

In its first attempt to go mobile, OAR will be partnering with other well-established conferences that share OAR’s dedication to applied research and evidence-based practice. Through these new partnerships, OAR will provide a special conference track that will focus on current research and implementing research findings to practice in daily life.  These tracks will feature speakers drawn from OAR’s Scientific Council members and ever-growing list of funded researchers.

The new concept of taking the conference on the road proved a success when OAR partnered with the Milestones Autism/Asperger's Conference. Because of the success OAR is returning to Cleveland, Ohio, June 19-20.
