Join us at the 5th annual ABC (Autism, Behavior and Complex Medical Needs) Conference, “Interprofessional Approach to Caring for Children with Special Needs.” This conference is sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Illinois Chapter of the AAP (ICAAP), and The University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine (UIC). It will be held on Friday, November 21, 2014 at Moraine Business and Conference Center in Palos Hills.
The ABC conferences emphasize evidence-based and concrete strategies to address the struggles providers encounter related to Autism, Behavioral Challenges and Complex Medical Needs (ABC). This year the conference focus has been expanded to include topics relevant to a wider range of interprofessionals. We invite you and your colleagues to join pediatricians, family physicians, healthcare professionals and community service providers, including home visitors, child care providers, Early Intervention professionals, social workers, and family case management, for a day of excellent educational content and networking with colleagues throughout the state.
Throughout the day, three educational tracks (A, B, and C) will run concurrently in breakout sessions. In addition ICAAP is pleased to announce that participants will gain valuable insights from three keynote speakers, as well as important resources from a variety of exhibitors. We are offering special rates for allied health providers, community service providers, and students. Registration is now open!
