PATC 2025 – Full Schedule & Session Descriptions Now Available!
September 30 – October 1, 2025
Hosted Virtually
PATC 2025 is right around the corner and it’s not too late to register! The Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) invites you to register for its upcoming PATC conference to hear from leading experts on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and community inclusion. The theme for this year’s conference is Beyond Inclusion: Thriving in the Community. Presentations will consider how we can start shifting the paradigm from a model that puts the onus of community integration on the individual and their family, to one that proactively shapes communities with inclusion in mind from the start.
Who Should Attend?
Professionals looking to increase their knowledge of and/or ability to support individuals with autism across the spectrum and the lifespan. We welcome all professionals supporting individuals with autism in Pennsylvania, in all systems. Please join us!
