Sponsors and Exhibitors
Once a year, this whole community is in one room.
Clinicians, researchers, educators, and families who spend their working lives on profound autism come together for two days each spring. Sponsors and exhibitors are part of that, not adjacent to it.
By the Numbers
Who was in the room in 2026
Profound autism is a small field. The people working in it are spread across disciplines, institutions, and states, and they rarely gather. This is where they do.
1,000+ professionals, parents, and advocates
41 states represented
9 countries represented
The Audience
Who you will meet
The Summit is deliberately interdisciplinary. Sponsors reach all of these groups in the same two days rather than through separate channels.
Clinicians and practitioners
BCBAs, physicians, psychologists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and social workers who make day-to-day decisions about care.
Families and caregivers
Parents, caregivers, and guardians of people with profound autism, many of whom are also making purchasing and service decisions for their families.
Researchers and advocates
The people shaping what gets studied, what gets taught, and what policy looks like for this population.
