The Learning Disabilities and Autism: Equality and Empowerment Conference

LEARNING DISABILITIES AND AUTISM:
EQUALITY AND EMPOWERMENT CONFERENCE

There has been increasing acknowledgment as to the challenges that people with learning disabilities and/or autism face and the drive to ensure that individuals are not disadvantaged or have their life chances curtailed continues. However, further progress and improvements are needed to allow for people to be supported to achieve and reach full potential, rather than just be cared for.
For a short period only we will be offering a 20% discount on tickets. To claim your reduced price ticket all you need to do is register with the promo code LD20 or ask us to hold you a place while you await funding to be approved.

The Learning Disabilities and Autism: Equality and Empowerment conference will be no exception in providing a platform to improve the lives of individuals through a series of presentations, discussions, knowledge sharing and dissemination of best practice.
