International Conference Series

This international conference was held on May 20-22 2006 at the University of California Los Angeles and was hosted by Child Development Media Inc. and the School of Infant Mental Health London.

Identifying the signs of autism before the age of one is a priority at the forefront of the scientific community. The goal of bringing together experts across key disciplines was to escalate the debate on early identification and to focus the convergence of attention on early intervention. The presentations were captured on DVD to extend the reach and the impact of this critical work and are directed to researchers who are leading the way and clinical practitioners who must build bridges between theory and practice. The DVDs are presented individually or as a complete set of ten presentations and two panel discussions.
