The 4th Annual Tidewater Autism Summit will take place
October 20, 2012 11:00am-3:00pm
Quality Inn & Suites Festival Center
705 Atlantic Avenue - Virginia Beach - Virginia - 23451
Last year's event was attended by over 500 members of our community and we had representation from more than 50 Autism Service providers. This year's Tidewater Autism Summit is sponsored by the Virginia Autism Project, TASA, FACT and other local Autism support organizations.
The purpose of the event is:
· To give autism service providers exposure in an event where they will be able to display and explain how their services benefit families on our autism community.
· To provide an opportunity for families affected by autism in the community to interact with each other and learn of the service providers we have
· To provide the Autism community the opportunity to voice our concerns to elected state and local leaders on issues that impact families with Autism. Such as the lack of private insurance coverage in the State of Virginia.
This event is free and open to the public.
