In response to the outstanding success of the 2007 Autism Conference in Boston, we were thrilled to be able to provide a new opportunity to support the educational and behavioral advancements of various autism related topics. The 2007 conference brought together more than 1,600 registrants from 21 countries and 46 states in the USA.

Ten distinguished speakers provided keynote addresses where the primary focus was to present behavior analysts, parents, educators, and other care providers with resources and information to more confidently face the challenges of raising and educating a child with autism. Two main themes of the conference were: home- and community-based interventions and curriculum and instruction in the classroom/school, which were of interest to professional behavior analysts, teachers of preschool and school-age children with ASD, adult service providers, in-home behavioral therapists, caregivers, teacher trainers, and students.
