Advance LA Conference

The Help Group’s Advance LA Conference features prominent experts whose research and practice support young people with autism, learning differences and ADHD in their transition to college, the workplace, and beyond. Each year’s conference theme focuses on the many strengths neurodiverse young adults can harness as they transition to adulthood. Attendees have a variety of topics and sessions to choose from. Our conferences are open to therapists, educators, clinicians, researchers, parents, graduates, and undergraduates. Continuing education credits are available as well.
