Overview:

This annual interdisciplinary conference offers a unique, practical update for primary care and subspecialty health care professionals who care for children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities and complex health care needs. This year's conference continues to cover topics across the lifespan on a broad range of developmental disabilities as well as focus on the self advocacy movement with presentations highlighting the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Included in that focus will be special presentations by leading experts in disability rights and autism policy development. Clinics specially designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities and mobility limitations, and current and future options for improved community living resources for individuals with disabilities, will be addressed by policy makers as well as clinic directors. Expert epidemiologic perspectives on the evolving demographics of Autism Disorders and Fetal Alcohol Disorders are among this year's topics. Exciting research on the importance of early screening and services, putting research into practice for children with autism disorders, will be addressed. Identification and diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Disorders, children, youth and adults with multiple disabilities who are in foster or dependent care, and treatment of sleep disorders in individuals with developmental disabilities are among many of the 2015 topics.

Presentations should be of interest to pediatricians, family physicians, nurse clinicians, psychologists, and internists who are involved in health care of individuals with developmental disabilities, as well as to those in other health related disciplines including health policy, dentistry, epidemiology, psychiatry, school health, social work, occupational and speech therapy and case management services. While the conference is designed for health care professionals, we welcome families and individuals with developmental disabilities who wish to learn from various represented disciplines.

Non-profit conference exhibitors feature resources designed to help our audience better provide care for children, youth, and adults with developmental disabilities. We look forward to welcoming you to the 14th annual Developmental Disabilities Update Conference and hope that your patients and clients with special health care needs will benefit from your participation.
