This event is a sellout every year, and includes events such as breakout sessions and resource walkways. Don’t worry if you’re hungry-we offer a continental breakfast, lunch, and cookies from South Fork Bakery and Bookstore.
It is an exciting day with speakers, presentations, panels and breakouts relevant to professionals, family members and individuals with ASD.

The Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism Association (AHA) is a not-for-profit organization serving individuals on the autism spectrum, their families and the professionals who work with them. AHA provides crucial resources and support as those on the spectrum face challenges, build on their strengths and fulfill their potential. Founded in 1988 and based on Long Island, New York, with a satellite office in New York City, AHA is directed by a dedicated and experienced volunteer executive board and expert professional advisory board. AHA’s services reach nearly 10,000 people annually. These services include one-on-one phone and e-support; more than a dozen monthly support meetings; an informative weekly AHA eNewsletter and biannual On the Spectrum print publication; family recreation events; biannual education conferences; and signature fundraisers, such as its annual ROCK ‘N’ BOWL for Autism. By maintaining efficient administrative practices, 90 percent of every dollar donated to AHA goes directly to providing and expanding its services.
